What Biq Blue does

01

Built for BigQuery only

No other warehouse, no detour. Every recommendation speaks fluent slots, reservations, Bi-Engine, logical vs physical storage.

02

Specific, not generic

Not "optimize your queries." Exactly which 24 tables to drop, which 9,539 queries to move to reservations.

03

Stay in your house

Biq Blue only reads INFORMATION_SCHEMA. Your data never leaves your BigQuery project. Ever.

Pure-play advantage

Every query, every byte, every dollar.

Because we only do BigQuery, we see what multi-cloud tools miss. Break down spend by service, user, project, label, or reservation, and find the one scheduled job that's quietly costing you $1,400 a month.

Recommendations

Tells you what to do, not what's wrong.

Every recommendation comes with an exact savings number, the queries or tables affected, and a one-line action. No dashboards to interpret.

Use slot reservations −$858/mo

These 9,539 queries of app-live-prod would be $858 cheaper using flat-rate instead of on-demand.

Delete unused tables −$196/mo

24 tables totaling 1.8 TiB have not been queried in 90 days.

Safety by design

Your data stays yours.

We only query INFORMATION_SCHEMA. All state lives in a dataset in your project. Revoke the service account and Biq Blue is gone: no export, no residue, no lock-in.

Diagram: Biq Blue reads INFORMATION_SCHEMA inside your GCP project; only metadata leaves through a service account.

Wrap up 2025

In 2025, BigQuery (+ GCS, we include it since we keep a bunch of archived tables there) cost us $903K, vs $1,484K in 2024 😊 Monthly costs are now around ~$60K — we're back to December 2022 levels. Mostly thanks to @Biq 🚀

Hi @Bruno & @Nicolas, hope you had a great holiday break.

We rolled out reservations and we're tracking usage on this board: myaccount.biq.blue/analysis_reservations.html

The goal is to right-size each reservation per batch type to maximize utilization, based on overnight runs. Would it be possible to filter on today's date only, to track the reservation usage ratio and check the caps are optimal?

Hi @Julien, thanks! Hope you had a great break too 🎄

Solid work on your end! What you saved by switching to reservations is on-demand cost − reservation cost:

(266+315+12+55+37) − (117+131+5+10+5)
= 685 − 268 = $417/week

=> You'll save around $1,200/month, or $14,000/year 💥

If we zoom in here, moving 1,172 on-demand queries ($62) onto the reservation ($10) is 6× cheaper — that's $1,500/month less 🥳

FAQ

How does Biq Blue work?

It cross-references job, table, reservation and storage data from INFORMATION_SCHEMA to produce precise savings recommendations.

Does Biq Blue access my data?

No. Only the INFORMATION_SCHEMA views and a dedicated dataset in your project. Nothing leaves your house.

What permissions does Biq Blue need?

Four minimal roles — three read-only org-wide, one write-access on a single dataset we create in your project.

On your main project · BigQuery Data Editor (on the dedicated Biq Blue dataset only)
At organization / folder / project level · BigQuery Metadata Viewer · BigQuery Resource Viewer · BigQuery Job User

That's all. No data access, no admin, no billing. Revoke the service account and we're gone.
