BigQuery specifically pioneered many of these concepts since it's release in 2012 - "serverless manageability", pay-per-query consumption-based pricing, pure separation of compute and storage (no intermediate ssh mesh), and more recently separation of compute and intermediate state (wonders for scalability and complex query performance).

- hueving 9y agoSeparation of compute and storage has been around since before Google was even relevant as a company (see NFS). If you think bigquery pioneered all of these concepts then your team did a very poor job of researching prior art. Maybe that was intentional for a good green-field design, but it's certainly not pioneering at that point.
