Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Implementing clustering in large tables can help reduce BigQuery costs significantly. This article provides an example of a MERGE query and compares the costs and performance between clustered and unclustered tables. The results show that clustering can lead to a 260x reduction in data processed, 20x lower slot time, and 268x lower costs.
