Cloud-based NoSQL database service Bigtable is a fully managed wide-column and key-value NoSQL database service for large analytical and operational workloads as part of the Google Cloud portfolio. Bigtable development began in 2004.[1] It is now used by a number of Google applications, such as Google Analytics,[2] web indexing, MapReduce, which is often used for generating and modifying data stored in Bigtable, Google Maps,[5] Google Books search, "My Search History", Google Earth, Blogger.com, Google Code hosting, YouTube,[6] and Gmail.[7] Google's reasons for developing its own database include scalability and better control of performance characteristics.
Google F1 was built using Spanner to replace an implementation based on MySQL.[9] Apache HBase and Cassandra are some of the best known open source projects that were modeled after Bigtable. On May 6, 2015, a public version of Bigtable was made available as a part of Google Cloud under the name Cloud Bigtable.[2]
