BigQuery is Google’s fully managed, petabyte scale, low cost analytics data warehouse. BigQuery is NoOps—there is no infrastructure to manage and you don’t need a database administrator—so you can focus on analyzing data to find meaningful insights, use familiar SQL, and take advantage of Google’s pay-as-you-go model.
Electrik.AI exports data from your marketing data source to a database destination of your choice. It is important to note that Electrik.AI itself is not a destination. A destination is required to export data from various marketing data sources using Electrik.AI
