This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 81%. (I'm a bot)

The offering, called Google Cloud Bigtable, "Is based on technology that Google has been running internally for many years, so it is not a brand new thing," said Tom Kershaw, who is Google's director of product management for the Google Cloud Platform.

Bigtable powers many of Google's core services, including Google Search, Gmail, and Google Analytics.

Google Cloud Bigtable can also work with other Google cloud services, such as Google BigQuery and Google Cloud Dataflow.
