ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Bigtable

Bigtable is like a really big table that can keep track of lots of information. Imagine you have a big pencil box with lots of different compartments. Each compartment is like a “cell” in the bigtable, and you can put information in each cell. So, if you want to find information about something, you can look it up in the bigtable and it will tell you which compartment to look in. Bigtable is used by big companies, like Google, to keep track of lots of information really quickly.
