Google Cloud announced BigQuery data products to help organizations treat data as a product for better organization, sharing, and usage
BigQuery data products bundle tables or views into logical blocks, providing deeper context and abstraction for specific business use cases
A ‘Customer Sales’ data product combines regional sales data with customer order information, offering a single point of contact and business context for analysis
Data products simplify interactions between data producers and consumers, enabling efficient sharing and usage of data
Data products establish ownership by identifying the owner and contact details, fostering responsibility and customer confidence
Data products provide background information, examples, and expectations, making it easier for consumers to understand and use the data
Governance and Access Control: Data products allow producers to limit access and control who can view and use the data
BigQuery data products make it easy for consumers to search, explore, and find relevant data resources in a single consumable unit
Distribution Options: Data products can be distributed publicly through data exchanges or privately within consortiums
Standardized and reusable data products prevent teams from recreating datasets or processes, saving time and resources
