🔍 What You'll Learn in This Video:
BigQuery Multi-Engine Support: Work seamlessly with SQL, Python, and Spark, all on a single copy of your data.

BigQuery Studio + Gemini AI: Use a unified IDE for SQL and Python with built-in AI-assisted workflows.

Python DataFrames in BigQuery: Experience Pandas-like syntax with the power and scalability of BigQuery.

Integrated ML & AI with Vertex AI: Build, train, and deploy ML models directly on BigQuery using BQML and foundation models via Gemini.

AI Governance with DataPlex: Centralized metadata, lineage, and quality monitoring across your data assets.

Open Table Format Support: Natively use Iceberg, Delta Lake, and Hudi in BigQuery for lakehouse architecture.

BigLake Integration: Unify data lakes and data warehouses through a single storage engine.

Real-Time Streaming with Pub/Sub & Dataflow: Build serverless pipelines using Apache Beam for streaming analytics.

Apache Kafka for BigQuery: Secure, managed event streaming now integrated into BigQuery.

Continuous Queries: Process streaming data in real time using always-on SQL queries with zero scheduling delays.
