What is BigQuery and how does it work?

BigQuery is Google Cloud's fully managed, serverless data warehouse that enables organizations to analyze massive datasets in seconds. This enterprise-grade platform processes petabytes of data using familiar SQL, eliminating infrastructure management while providing built-in machine learning, geospatial analysis, and real-time streaming capabilities.
