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

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.

    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.
