google-cloud-bigquery

Google BigQuery (docs) enables super-fast, SQL-like queries against append-only tables, using the processing power of Google's infrastructure. Simply move your data into BigQuery and let it handle the hard work. You can control access to both the project and your data based on your business needs, such as giving others the ability to view or query your data.

Example

require "google/cloud/bigquery"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new(
  project: "my-todo-project",
  keyfile: "/path/to/keyfile.json"
)

# Create a new table to archive todos
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my-todo-archive"
table = dataset.create_table "todos",
          name: "Todos Archive",
          description: "Archive for completed TODO records"

# Load data into the table
file = File.open "/archive/todos/completed-todos.csv"
load_job = table.load file

# Run a query for the number of completed todos by owner
count_sql = "SELECT owner, COUNT(*) AS complete_count FROM todos GROUP BY owner"
data = bigquery.query count_sql
data.each do |row|
  puts row["name"]
end
