Yup. If you're a regular BQ user and you have VC funding, buy reserved slots.
If you're a regular BQ user and you're bootstrapped, then get into the habit of checking the top right of the console screen before you press the query button.
I have my own Japanese train conductor ritual, in which I verbalise to myself "The screen says 3TB will be scanned. This will cost me $15. That is as expected." After a couple of seconds pause, I press the button.
- bushbaba 4y agoThis is one reason Eng leaders like flat rate cost infra. You tell your team I’ve allocated N$ of compute for analytics. And if there’s slowdowns from too much traffic the team will reschedule their work around it. Where-as BQ and its “infinite” scale encourages more and more work. Up until the bill far outweighs the benefit it brought the organization. Sure you can design around this. But it’s great things like BQ flat rate exist as a middle ground.
