Future directions

As we continue the final chapter of Data Exploration and Preparation with BigQuery, it is essential to turn our attention to the horizons of what lies ahead. The field of data exploration, preparation, and analytics is in a state of constant evolution, and BigQuery continues to be at the forefront of these innovations.

BigQuery is becoming more of a platform for all data services. For example, you can run SQL and Spark workloads from BigQuery using serverless DataProc. Data quality, profiling, and lineage on BigQuery tables can be done with Dateplex. Remote machine learning models that run on Vertex AI can be executed directly from BigQuery Studio with SQL. BigQuery as a platform will continue to evolve. In this section, we will explore the future directions and emerging trends that will shape the path of data analysis and decision-making with BigQuery.
