# Cloud Bigtable Cluster

Cloud Bigtable Cluster in GCP is a scalable, high-performance NoSQL database cluster used for large analytical and operational workloads. It stores data in a distributed manner across nodes, providing low-latency access and automatic replication for reliability. Clusters can be resized by adding or removing nodes to adjust performance and throughput without downtime.
