Disclaimer: I am Felipe Hoffa (<a href="https://twitter.com/felipehoffa" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/felipehoffa</a>) and I work for Google Cloud.<p>Mark Lit is running a really impressive series of posts benchmarking big data platforms. So far BigQuery has been the simplest and fastest one, but Google Cloud Dataproc is really shining in his latest benchmarks.<p>The head of AWS EMR is working on this case too (<a href="https://twitter.com/rahulpathak/status/709824269065125888" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/rahulpathak/status/709824269065125888</a>), so it will be fascinating to follow how these benchmarks evolve.
