Your organization maintains a development BigQuery project where five data scientists experiment with modest-sized data sets. They usually issue no more than three concurrent interactive queries, and the results are not time-critical. Finance wants a predictable monthly bill obtained through slot-based capacity pricing, but leadership does not want to pay for the higher availability guarantees or advanced enterprise features that production workloads require. Which BigQuery Edition best fits these requirements?
Purchase a reservation using BigQuery Standard Edition slots.
Purchase a reservation using BigQuery Enterprise Plus Edition slots.
Keep the project on on-demand query pricing and do not reserve slots.
Purchase a reservation using BigQuery Enterprise Edition slots.
BigQuery Standard Edition is designed for entry-level or lower-concurrency workloads that do not need the additional high-availability guarantees, advanced workload management, or cross-region fail-over features included with Enterprise and Enterprise Plus. Purchasing a capacity-based reservation at the Standard Edition tier provides the requested slot pricing predictability at the lowest cost. Choosing Enterprise or Enterprise Plus would add unnecessary expense for features the sandbox environment does not require, while remaining on on-demand pricing would not satisfy the need for a predictable monthly spend.
