One of my employers was using BigQuery. I was so scared that I might accidentally run queries and get a big bill, even though our tables weren’t that big.

It is funny to look back, but getting huge bills without even realizing that we’re doing something wrong is very real possibility. Cloud vendors happily make their pricing opaque as it benefits them.

I’d avoid even the best product in the industry, if their pricing is opaque. Or if there is a “Contact Us” button when there needn’t be.
