A simple project turning Stackoverflow public raw data into reporting tables in a BigQuery data warehouse.

Stackoverflow data on BigQuery

## Summary

This project transforms four raw datasets (`posts_answers`, `posts_questions`, `badges` and `users`) into two summary reporting tables.

- `posts_combined` brings stackoverflow posts and answers into a single table, with a “type” field for differentiating between the two.
- `user_stats` provides an overview of each users engagement: when they signed up, how many badges they have, and how many posts and answers they’ve made.
