What problems is Google Cloud BigTable solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am using BigTable as a columnar database to store various features for a user. It is an extremely efficient Feature store and highly cost efficient as well. I switched to BigTable from Cassandra and that gave me 35% cost savings. Its in-built age based and version based garbage collection policy is also extremely useful to delete and compact stale data.
