Google BigQuery is Google Cloud's fully serverless data warehouse for fast SQL analytics over very large datasets, with storage and compute separated. It targets analysts and teams running large-scale analytics without provisioning or managing clusters. Pricing is usage based, billed either per terabyte scanned or via capacity slots, and a free monthly allowance covers 1 TB of queries and 10 GB of storage. The core service is GCP-only and proprietary, so it is not open-source or self-hostable. BigQuery holds SOC2, ISO27001, FedRAMP, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS compliance.
