Today, Amazon Quick Sight is announcing the general availability of Direct Query feature for its Google BigQuery data source. This launch is an extension of the feature here wherein Quick Sight launched BigQuery connector support through SPICE (Super-fast, Parallel, In-memory Calculation Engine).
Direct Query mode allows customers to perform near real-time querying of their BigQuery data. The feature doesn’t have a limitation on the number of rows or the data size that could be imported for a dataset. Direct queries also enable customers to extract data directly from BigQuery instead of having to cache it in SPICE.
Google BigQuery Direct Query functionality in Quick Sight is now available in all supported Amazon Quick Sight regions here.
