Product updates and announcements from the Google Data Cloud & AI Summit

During the Google Data Cloud and AI Summit, we shared innovations to unlock the value of data and applications. Check out our featured updates below! 

BigQuery editions

BigQuery editions provide more choice and flexibility for you to select the right feature set for various workload requirements. You can mix and match among Standard, Enterprise, and Enterprise Plus editions to achieve the preferred price-performance by workload. Along with editions, we’re announcing autoscaling capabilities that ensure you only pay for the compute capacity you use, and a new compressed storage billing model that is designed to reduce your storage costs. 

Check out the FAQs, pricing information and product documentation, and register for the upcoming BigQuery roadmap session on April 5, 2023 to learn more about BigQuery’s latest innovations. 

AlloyDB Omni

We’re excited to announce the technology preview of AlloyDB Omni, a downloadable edition of AlloyDB designed to run on-premises, at the edge, across clouds, or even on developer laptops. AlloyDB Omni offers the AlloyDB benefits you’ve come to love, including high performance, PostgreSQL-compatibility, and Google Cloud support, all at a fraction of the cost of legacy databases.

Generative AI

If you’ve been exploring recently-launched consumer generative AI tools like Bard and thinking about how to build similar experiences for your business, Generative AI App Builder, or Gen App Builder for short, is here to get you started.

Gen App Builder is part of Google Cloud’s recently announced generative AI offerings and lets developers, even those with limited machine learning skills, quickly and easily tap into the power of Google’s foundation models, search expertise, and conversational AI technologies to create enterprise-grade generative AI applications.
