Dataproc

Dataproc is a cloud-based service from Google that makes it easy to run big data processing tools, like Apache Spark and Hadoop, without managing the underlying infrastructure. It allows organizations to quickly set up, scale, and manage clusters of computers to analyze large amounts of data efficiently. This helps businesses gain insights, build data-driven applications, and perform complex computations more flexibly and cost-effectively. Think of it as a managed platform for handling large-scale data tasks, freeing users from dealing with hardware details while delivering powerful processing capabilities.
