Getting started

Initially I intended to use Sqlite or PostgreSQL as the database engine. After reading about BigQuery, I incline to this solution, since its free tier offers 10GB storage and I don't need to manually manage the database. BigQuery is also integrated directly into Deepnote or Jupyter notebook.

  1. Create a new Google account for BigQuery
