Data Ingestion Article Posted to BigQuery Docs

[Andy "Rufus" Rothfusz]

Hello BigQuery!

We've added a new section to the BigQuery documentation: Articles

These are long format discussions about one topic, diving in deep enough to solve real problems.  Our first article is about BigQuery Data Strategies and Best Practices.  This includes a Q&A-formatted discussion of strategies for getting your data into BigQuery smoothly.  Please let us know what other information we could add to help you start exploring your data!

In particular I know that validating data before uploading has been a particular sore point.  I've started to explore the Cutplace tool to see if it suits most of your needs, and I'd love feedback on whether you've found this tool to be useful or if you have a better solution.

Best holiday wishes to all of you!  

I hope you'll enjoy friends and families and be ready for more big questions through BigQuery in the new year!
