Scaling Geospatial with Google:
BigQuery and Earth Engine

12. Release geospatial workloads from legacy
constraints with an exabyte scale geospatial
data lake driven by Google Cloud services and
analysis-ready data assets.

15. Performance is an enabler
Q: 12,016,989 Statewide Parcels:
How many of them have impervious
surfaces?”
A: 4,614,741 polygons covering the state
BigQuery:
12.1 sec
Cloud SQL:
05:09:08.297

16. New geospatial enhancements to
BigQuery
GeoJSON file support
Users can now import GeoJSON
formatted files and they’re cleaned
automatically using make_valid.
make_valid can be applied to any
filetype.
S2 cells
S2_CoveringCellIDs

22. How it works
Data
Comprehensive catalog
of analysis-ready*
datasets, including
multispectral, radar, aerial,
weather, climate, land
cover, and vector.
Computation
Co-located data
storage + computation
All functions are
intrinsically-parallelized
to run at massive scale
over thousands of CPUs
API
Simple, yet powerful
JavaScript* API, with
support for Python
(and more to come)
>1600 built-in
geo-analytic functions
Browser-based IDE
Fully-managed service.
No software to download
or keep up to date.
All you need is a modest
internet connection.
