Shopify is a cloud-based commerce platform focused on small- to medium-sized businesses and designed for ultimate scalability and reliability. Its software allows merchants to set up, design and manage businesses easily across multi-sales channels: mobile, web, social media, marketplaces, pop-up shops, and even brick-and-mortar stores. It offers a plethora of services including customer engagement, payments, marketing, and shipping tools to provide small merchants with the ability to run an online store simply and efficiently.
BigQuery is an enterprise data warehouse that draws on the processing power of Google Cloud Storage to enable fast processing of SQL queries through massive datasets. BigQuery helps businesses select the most appropriate software provider to assemble their data, based on the platforms the business uses. Once a business’ data is acculumated, it is moved into BigQuery. The company controls access to the data, but BigQuery stores and processes it for greater speed and convenience.
