Show HN: Biq Blue – Destroy Your Google BigQuery Costs

5 pointsby bruno_rznover 1 year ago
Hi!<p>I&#x27;ve been working on Biq Blue, a tool engineered to analyze your Google BigQuery tables, storage, and requests with the goal of drastically reducing your costs.<p>Currently in early free beta, Biq Blue has already demonstrated its effectiveness on some big data sets.<p>Essentially, it&#x27;s a server that connects to your BigQuery database via the gcloud CLI, conducts analyses, and opens an HTTP port to serve both results and recommendations over web pages.<p>Your data stays local, ensuring it never leaves your enterprise (I may only collects anonymous usage statistics and the email tied to your gcloud account)<p>I’ve developed versions for Windows, MacOS, and Linux, as well as a Docker version, which can be installed directly on your infrastructure, enabling multiple users to access Biq Blue simply through a web browser.<p>I’ve spent some time working on the “packager” to ensure that the installation process is as smooth and easy as possible. Consequently, any feedback regarding installation would be particularly appreciated :)<p>Screenshots and documentation are available on the public GitHub page ( <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;biqblue&#x2F;docs">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;biqblue&#x2F;docs</a> ). Is it clear enough for you to go through the installation and startup process without any issues?<p>Any additional feedback or advice is also more than welcome!<p>Thanks !

We&#x27;ve been testing it for a few months: we&#x27;ve halved our storage costs, and optimized queries from hell. But the best part is the alerting, since it&#x27;s been in place, the team has really stepped up its game (we do 2 million queries a month). This tool is crazy.
