Great write-up on how to move data from #Salesforce into #BigQuery. There are a lot of solutions out there-- based on my experience this is one of the best ones I have seen. https://t.co/5bTiVEagxL #dataengineering #apachekafka

[Steven Levine @_stevenlevine]

This is pretty awesome. #BigQuery and #Spark in the same UI.

[lak lakshmanan @lak_luster]

You can now write PySpark code in the BigQuery web console and have it run using Serverless Spark!

Separation of compute and storage continues -- this is Hadoop compute + BigQuery storage. Through a single pane of glass that supports both SQL and Spark.

Here is a more detailed post on #BigQuery’s native support for JSON. https://t.co/NLkEHyi17A

[Steven Levine @_stevenlevine]

Really cool new feature— #BigQuery standard SQL now supports the JSON data type for storing JSON data (in preview). This really opens up a lot of new use cases especially around APM and Logging. https://t.co/JjQSkgC5zT #GoogleCloud
