Google BigQuery vs Hibernate: What are the differences?
Introduction
This markdown code provides a comparison between Google BigQuery and Hibernate, highlighting the key differences between the two.
Scalability and Performance: Google BigQuery is a cloud-based data warehouse that is highly scalable and can handle large volumes of data with ease. It is built on Google's infrastructure, which allows for fast and efficient data processing. On the other hand, Hibernate is an Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) framework that provides a way to map Java objects to relational database tables. It focuses on providing a convenient and efficient way to perform database operations on a smaller scale compared to BigQuery.
Data Storage and Querying: Google BigQuery allows users to store large amounts of data in a structured, columnar format. It provides a rich SQL-like querying language that allows for advanced analytics and aggregations on the data. Hibernate, on the other hand, relies on traditional relational databases for data storage and querying. It provides a powerful object-oriented querying language called Hibernate Query Language (HQL), which is similar to SQL but focuses on manipulating Java objects rather than raw data.
Cost and Pricing Model: Google BigQuery follows a pay-as-you-go pricing model, where users are charged based on the amount of data stored and the queries performed. It offers different pricing tiers based on usage, allowing users to choose the most cost-effective option for their needs. Hibernate, on the other hand, is an open-source framework and does not have any direct cost associated with it. However, users may incur costs related to database licensing and hosting if they choose to use Hibernate with a commercial database.
Ease of Use and Learning Curve: Google BigQuery is a cloud-based service that abstracts the underlying infrastructure, making it easy to set up and use. It provides a user-friendly web interface and supports multiple programming languages for integration. Hibernate, on the other hand, requires some initial setup and configuration. It has a steeper learning curve compared to BigQuery, especially for developers new to ORM frameworks. However, once set up, Hibernate provides a convenient way to perform database operations using familiar Java syntax.
Availability and Deployment: Google BigQuery is a fully managed service provided by Google Cloud Platform. It ensures high availability and reliability, with automatic backups and replication of data across multiple data centers. Hibernate, on the other hand, can be used with various databases, both local and cloud-based. The availability and deployment of Hibernate depend on the chosen database and hosting provider.
In Summary, Google BigQuery is a cloud-based, highly scalable data warehouse with a SQL-like querying language, while Hibernate is an ORM framework for Java applications that focuses on mapping objects to relational databases. The key differences include scalability and performance, data storage and querying, cost and pricing model, ease of use and learning curve, and availability and deployment.
Cloud Data-warehouse is the centerpiece of modern Data platform. The choice of the most suitable solution is therefore fundamental.
Our benchmark was conducted over BigQuery and Snowflake. These solutions seem to match our goals but they have very different approaches.
BigQuery is notably the only 100% serverless cloud data-warehouse, which requires absolutely NO maintenance: no re-clustering, no compression, no index optimization, no storage management, no performance management. Snowflake requires to set up (paid) reclustering processes, to manage the performance allocated to each profile, etc. We can also mention Redshift, which we have eliminated because this technology requires even more ops operation.
BigQuery can therefore be set up with almost zero cost of human resources. Its on-demand pricing is particularly adapted to small workloads. 0 cost when the solution is not used, only pay for the query you're running. But quickly the use of slots (with monthly or per-minute commitment) will drastically reduce the cost of use. We've reduced by 10 the cost of our nightly batches by using flex slots.
Finally, a major advantage of BigQuery is its almost perfect integration with Google Cloud Platform services: Cloud functions, Dataflow, Data Studio, etc.
BigQuery is still evolving very quickly. The next milestone, BigQuery Omni, will allow to run queries over data stored in an external Cloud platform (Amazon S3 for example). It will be a major breakthrough in the history of cloud data-warehouses. Omni will compensate a weakness of BigQuery: transferring data in near real time from S3 to BQ is not easy today. It was even simpler to implement via Snowflake's Snowpipe solution.
We also plan to use the Machine Learning features built into BigQuery to accelerate our deployment of Data-Science-based projects. An opportunity only offered by the BigQuery solution
