Bigtable
Bigtable is a distributed storage system developed by Google that organizes and manages large amounts of structured data across many computers. Think of it as a giant, multi-dimensional spreadsheet where data is stored in rows and columns, but on a massive scale. It allows fast access, updates, and retrieval of data, making it ideal for applications like search, maps, and analytics. Bigtable is designed to be scalable, reliable, and flexible, ensuring data can grow seamlessly as the needs of a business or service expand.
