Warehouse Partitioning &
Cost Proof
Partition and cluster a BigQuery events table in your OWN GCP free-tier sandbox, prove the cost win with measured bytes-scanned numbers before/after, and ship partition maintenance plus a cost handoff note — the Week-8 warehousing theory hardened into a portfolio repo with numbers.
What you'll learn
- —Provision a personal BigQuery sandbox (free tier) with zero shared credentials
- —Choose partition + cluster keys from real query patterns
- —Measure bytes-scanned before/after and convert to cost
- —Ship partition expiration, maintenance, and a monitoring view
