Here’s the difference between Redshift and Redpanda. The comparison is based on pricing, deployment, business model, and other important factors.
Amazon Redshift is a fully managed petabyte scale data warehouse service. Redshift is designed for analytic workloads and connects to standard SQL based clients and business intelligence tools. Redshift delivers fast query and I/O performance for virtually any size dataset by using columnar storage technology and parallelizing and distributing queries across multiple nodes. Most common administrative tasks associated with provisioning, configuring, monitoring, backing up, and securing a data warehouse are automated.
Redpanda is the modern streaming data platform for developers. API-compatible with Apache Kafka, the product has a breakthrough architecture with 10x lower latencies, single binary deployment with built-in features, and tiered storage in the cloud with a unified streaming API. Redpanda offers a free community edition and commercial options for both self-hosted and SaaS.
