Bigtable is a key-value and wide-column store, ideal for fast access to
structured, semi-structured, or unstructured data. For example, you might create
a Bigtable instance to store data for the following use cases:
This document describes the connections and parameters you can configure when
using App Design Center to create a Bigtable
instance. The configuration parameters are based on theterraform-google-bigtableTerraform module.
Component connections
The following table includes the components that you can connect to a
Bigtable instance, and the resulting updates to your
application and its generated Terraform code.
