Verified steps

  1. Batch-load files from GCS (free) instead of streaming inserts (paid) where latency allows
  2. Partition tables by date + cluster by common filter columns
  3. Always preview costs: bq query --dry_run or jobs.query with dryRun:true
  4. Set maximum_bytes_billed as a guardrail on ad-hoc queries
