How it’s great News for all Google Cloud Platform Users

Google is bringing out new guns to support companies even better in the creation of data platforms. With BigQuery, customers already have a wonderful easy-to-use SaaS Data Warehouse and, with various cloud storage options, the possibility to build the matching Data Lake. The two interacting in a Data Lakehouse is not new — but with BigLake it is now gaining momentum.
