Description of Feature
A Cloud customer wants to route all GrowthBook-issued BigQuery queries through Alvin AI for query optimisation.
GrowthBook currently has no BigQuery equivalent to Snowflake’s SNOWFLAKE_PROXY, leaving cloud-hosted customers unable to configure this without moving to self-hosting.
When self hosting the workaround is to set the BIGQUERY_EMULATOR_HOST env var as described in this Alvin doc
We use the native bigquery nodejs package for the integration, so this should work.
