“5G is coming! I saw the commercial!” “No, 5G is already here. Didn’t you see the other commercial?” “Yes, but I don’t have 5G, do you?” “Yes, I have had it for the last year. Well, I think I have.

Python is one of the hottest programming languages in the world right now. According to StackOverflow’s Developer Survey 2021, Python is the third most popular programming language. It is primarily due to its easy-going syntax coupled with powerful dynamic typing and binding. In this article, we will focus on building efficient and scalable applications in Python using popular design patterns. Design patterns are standards or conventions used to solve commonly occurring problems.
BigQuery's Remote Functions (in preview) make it possible to apply custom cloud functions to your warehouse without moving data or managing compute. This flexibility unlocks many use cases including data enrichment. In this post we demonstrate a pattern for combining BigQuery with the Google Maps API to add drive times to datasets containing origin and destination locations. This enrichment pattern is easily adapted for address geocoding or adding Google Map's place descriptions to locations.
If you have ever been interested in Web Development then chances are you have heard of JavaScript. JavaScript is an object-oriented programming language.

A view with just 10 items in the beginning gathers hundreds of items, and keeps growing. Besides filtering data in the front-end to reduce the returned data, we wanted to ensure our data could keep growing without timeouts in our GraphQL API or slow-loading pages in our app.
