BigQuery

BigQuery is on my list because many teams want serverless-ish analytics at scale, especially on GCP. If you’re building modern pipelines and want fast iteration on analytical workloads, BigQuery is a practical platform to know.

Pros

+Scales well for analytics workloads
+Strong integration within the GCP ecosystem

Cons

-Query costs can surprise teams without guardrails
-Portability can be a concern for multi-cloud stacks
