Summary

The CARTO BigQuery Tiler is now available in general availability, allowing users to create and publish map tilesets from their Google BigQuery data. This solution enables users to directly access BigQuery through the CARTO platform, with features such as automatic connection creation, service account integration, and tileset visualization within the dashboard. The new Maps API 2.0 provides support for TileJSON endpoints and is designed for compatibility and scalability. Users can generate and serve tilesets directly on their data warehouse, eliminating the need to export data from BigQuery. Pricing is based on processing tiers, with a competitive structure that charges users per GigaByte of data processed. The CARTO Spatial Analytics on BigQuery toolbox offers a comprehensive solution for spatial analysis, including visualization, enrichment, route calculation, geocoding, and machine learning capabilities. Users can start using the BigQuery Tiler now and explore its capabilities in more detail through documentation and demo requests.
