Google BigQuery

Google Cloud Platform's BigQuery is a powerful, fully managed, serverless data warehouse designed for large-scale data analytics, enabling organizations to query petabytes of data within seconds. Its unique architecture separates storage and compute resources, allowing dynamic scaling to handle varying workloads efficiently, without the need for complex infrastructure management. With a pay-as-you-go pricing model, BigQuery ensures organizations only pay for the data they query, making it a cost-effective solution for modern data analysis. It supports standard SQL and offers advanced capabilities such as machine learning, geospatial analysis, and real-time data streaming.

Through BigQuery Sharing (formerly Analytics Hub), users can seamlessly integrate S&P Global data into their own GCP projects. This eliminates the need for complex ETL pipelines, providing easy access to S&P datasets and efficient querying. Data is ready for querying immediately upon connecting, ensuring businesses, data analysts, and engineers can access consistently up-to-date information. S&P Global provides the data storage, while users only pay for the compute resources required for their analytics. This simplifies data integration, resulting in faster, more informed business insights.
