About this skill

What it does. Guides Google Cloud Bigtable work by separating gcloud control-plane tasks from cbt data-plane operations. It covers provisioning, row-key and column-family design, SQL and key-value access, Java/Go/Python client code, and performance diagnosis with Key Visualizer and table statistics.

When to use it. Use it for Bigtable instances, tables, schemas, queries, client code, and hotspotting issues. It does not cover generic Cloud SQL administration; explicit confirmation is required before non-emulator changes to database structure or data.
