A comment on Reducing BigQuery Costs. Parent comment
A bizarre conversation I witnessed between the BigQuery team and my company at the time (a major customer):
Company: "We need to be able to see our consumption and a breakdown of our bill"
BQ team: "Oh, yeah. We can see how that would be useful. We should probably build that..."
Like, this was a GA product without any thought given to self-serve billing visibility.
I realize billing is usually the last thing bolted on, but I'd expect some basics to be in place before the product ships.
