“大規模分析に強い反面コスト最適化は専門人材が求められる”

スケーラビリティと処理速度においてとても優れていると感じる。S3などの別製品との接続性であったり、マネージドサービスとしてのプライベートリンクなどができセキュアな接続もできることがとてもいい。 ただし、チューニングにはとても工数を用いている。

“Integration With AWS Glue Effective, but S3 Spectrum Performance Remains a Challenge”

3.0
Jul 6, 2025
AWS Redshift is a good product to store data in an optimal way from an analytical analysis perspective. Queries provide optimal performance if data is stored in an appropriate distribution style. Only caveat is that Spectrum is not performant enough to do analysis on external data stored on S3.

Provided good SQL query performance when data is stored in its native proprietary format. It has a good integration mechanism to connect with AWS Glue & Data Catalog.

Scalability as it has been able to scale with our busy period when we see increased traffic. Easy of use, the query language is a modified SQL which means our analysts can use it without too much bother. Documentation, the platform has plenty of robust documentation and a active user community.

Spectrum is not performant enough to process external data stored on S3.

The only real issue I have is that the SQL dialect it uses is too close to others, meaning I trip up frequently when writing queries and I usually have to write them twice.

    Redshift Facilitates Scalable Analytics but SQL Similarities Cause Query Challenges

    Dec 1, 2025
    Redshift has been a great tool for the storage and serving of our Google Analytics data. It has allowed us to capture a lot of information as we see a lot of traffic and then send it down stream for further processing.

    Adaptabilidad destacada de Redshift pero el manejo avanzado puede ser complejo

    Nov 11, 2025
    El servicio de Redshift proporciona altas capacidades de computo y alto rendimiento para uso como DWH. Su adaptabilidad y escalabilidad están muy por encima de otros productos. Administrar y optimizar un cluster puede tener una curva de aprendizaje elevada.

    Amazon Redshift Offers Reliable Analytics Performance Yet Faces Cost Management Challenges

    Oct 24, 2025
    Amazon Redshift delivers strong performance and reliability for large scale analytics. It integrates smoothly with other AWS tools like S3 and QuickSight, making data workflow efficient. Scaling is efortless, and performance tuning are powerful. The only minor challange is managing costs for unpredictable workloads.
