Why do I need BigQuery and Amazon S3 integration?

Integrating BigQuery and Amazon S3 platforms offers numerous benefits for businesses, including the following:

Create a single source of truth with Amazon S3

Amazon S3 is branded as a simple storage service because it allows an easy way to transfer and store your data. The platform is suitable for structured data, but it also captures object data in buckets. Amazon S3 allows you to control access to the data, including access to individual buckets. Effectively, integrating BigQuery and Amazon S3 ensures that your data is stored in one database where you create a single source of truth and can control how your teams access the data.

Global availability

With your BigQuery data in Amazon S3, you can capitalize on AWS’s global infrastructure to distribute the datasets across many regions. You can utilize the geographical location controls in Amazon S3 to manage who can store or access data in particular buckets. This ensures high availability and reduces redundancy to access data even during disasters or regional outages. With improved disaster recovery capabilities, downtime, and potential data loss are minimized, promoting business continuity. Operational efficiency is also maintained, particularly for geographically dispersed teams or customer bases.

Content delivery and distribution

Distribute data worldwide with higher transfer speed and low latency through BigQuery and Amazon S3 integration. Deliver BigQuery’s analytics reports, media files, or large datasets to users in different geographic locations by accessing Amazon CloudFront through S3. By playing the role of a content delivery network, CloudFront decreases load times and enhances access for end users, boosting overall productivity in the long run.

Enjoy data versioning

Leverage Amazon S3’s versioning feature to monitor your BigQuery datasets as they evolve over time to protect them against unwanted modifications or deletions. When you activate versioning, it’s possible to store many versions of a similar file so you can restore previous versions if need be. This is especially advantageous for auditing purposes.
