Running Pandas Jobs with BigQuery Data

BigQuery

BigQuery is a cloud-based data warehousing solution that is part of the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). It is designed to handle large amounts of data and is used by businesses of all sizes. One of the reasons BigQuery is so popular is because it is fast and scalable. It can handle large amounts of data quickly and efficiently, making it ideal for businesses that need to process large amounts of data. BigQuery also has native integrations with the most popular BI tools. This means you can connect tables to Data Studio, Looker, Power BI, Tableau, and other visualization tools with a few clicks.

Pandas

Pandas is an open-source Python package that is most widely used for data science/data analysis and machine learning tasks. It provides support for multi-dimensional arrays and data manipulation. Pandas strengthens Python by giving the popular programming language the capability to work with spreadsheet-like data enabling fast loading, aligning, manipulating, and merging, in addition to other key functions. It is prized for providing highly optimized performance when backend source code is written in C or Python. Pandas has become popular because it provides a powerful set of commands and features that are used to easily analyze data. It can be used to perform various tasks like filtering data according to certain conditions, or segmenting and segregating data according to preference. It can efficiently handle large datasets and provides spreadsheet functionality.
