Your analytics team relies on a third-party business-intelligence application that connects to BigQuery through the official JDBC driver. As dashboard adoption grows, report refresh times have risen from sub-second to 20-30 seconds. You need to accelerate query performance without altering existing SQL, changing the BI tool's connection method, or moving data outside BigQuery; dashboards must still reflect near-real-time updates in the underlying tables. Which approach best meets these requirements?
Enable the BigQuery query cache and add the USE_CACHE=TRUE hint to every dashboard query generated by the BI tool.
Schedule daily exports of the fact tables to Cloud Storage and have the BI tool read the resulting CSV files directly to avoid live querying BigQuery.
Replicate the dataset into Cloud Bigtable and reconfigure the BI tool to connect through a Bigtable driver for faster point-lookups.
Purchase a BigQuery BI Engine reservation for the project and enable BI Engine acceleration on the dataset used by the dashboards.
BigQuery BI Engine is an in-memory accelerator that works transparently with any tool that queries BigQuery through its standard API, including JDBC/ODBC-based third-party BI products and Looker Studio. By purchasing a BI Engine reservation for the project and enabling it on the dataset, frequently accessed results and metadata are cached in memory, lowering latency to sub-second levels while continuing to serve up-to-date data because BI Engine automatically stays synchronized with changes to the base tables. The other options either move data out of BigQuery, require significant redesign, or rely on the standard query cache-which is not guaranteed to stay warm and does not provide the consistent low-latency experience expected for interactive dashboards.
