Cloud BigTable is a high-performance NoSQL database service for large analytical and operational workloads. BigTable is a sparse, distributed, persistent, and multi-dimensional sorted map. The map is indexed by a row key, column key, and a timestamp.
Cloud BigTable is used mainly for large-scale, low-latency applications; throughput-intensive data processing; and analytics.
We can also use Cloud BigTable to store very large amounts of single-keyed data with very low latency.
Cloud BigTable is designed to handle massive workloads at consistent low latency and high read-write throughput. For IoT, user analytics, and financial data analysis, it is also a great choice for operational and analytical application.
It is a petabyte-scale service and can be easily integrated with Hadoop, GCP Dataflow, and GCP Dataproc. Apache HBase and Cloud BigTable support open-source industry standard HBase API.
