While the traditional approaches of using data lakes and data warehouses can be effective, they have shortcomings, particularly in large enterprise environments. This course introduces the concept of a data lakehouse and the Google Cloud products used to create one. A lakehouse architecture uses open-standard data sources and combines the best features of data lakes and data warehouses, which addresses many of their shortcomings.
This course covers BigQuery fundamentals for professionals who are familiar with SQL-based cloud data warehouses in Snowflake and want to begin working in BigQuery. Through interactive lecture content and hands-on labs, you learn how to provision resources, create and share data assets, ingest data, and optimize query performance in BigQuery. Drawing upon your knowledge of Snowflake, you also learn about similarities and differences between Snowflake and BigQuery to help you get started with data warehouses in BigQuery. After this course, you can continue your BigQuery journey by completing the skill badge quest titled Build and Optimize Data Warehouses with BigQuery.
