Description:
BigQuery has been one of the biggest, if not the biggest, infrastructure breakthrough for us, allowing us to run analytics on 10s of billions of records without a sweat.
We will do a journey based on real-world scenarios from my personal experience and learn about commands, metadata, and much more. We will use the UI as well as the CLI and learn a few tricks to make our life easier when managing datasets with 100s of billions. So bring your laptop and let the journey begin.

Bio:
I am an Italian by birth but a citizen of the world by choice. After a couple of years spent in exotic locations around the world doing research on network measurement and security, I decided to apply my experience to build new and better linux technologies in Berlin. Now I juggle terabytes of data and billions of events into the Cloud in London at Huq Industries.
