Google Cloud is expanding into the data lake storage business through a new product called BigLake, which is based on its BigQuery service.
While the name might not be the most creative, the service is a very interesting expansion for Google as it chases Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure in the cloud market.
BigLake, available now in preview(opens in new tab), helps companies unify their data warehouses and data lakes without having to worry about compatibility between all of the sources. The service works with Amazon S3, Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2, and Google Cloud Storage.
