Data Warehousing with BigQuery: Storage Design, Query Optimization, and Administration
3 daysILTIntermediateLoading...
Overview
In this course, you learn about the internals of BigQuery and best practices for designing, optimizing, and administering your data warehouse. Through a combination of lectures, demos, and labs, you learn about BigQuery architecture and how to design optimal storage and schemas for data ingestion and changes.
What You'll Learn
- Describe BigQuery architecture fundamentals
- Implement storage and schema design patterns to improve performance
- Use DML and schedule data transfers to ingest data
- Apply best practices to improve read efficiency and optimize query performance
- Manage capacity and automate workloads
- Understand patterns versus anti-patterns to optimize queries and improve read performance
- Use logging and monitoring tools to understand and optimize usage patterns
- Apply security best practices to govern data and resources
- Build and deploy several categories of machine learning models with BigQuery ML
Who Should Attend
Data analysts, data scientists, data engineers, and developers who perform work on a scale that requires advanced BigQuery internals knowledge to optimize performance
