Amazon Redshift

Database Management System

Amazon Redshift is a data warehouse product that forms part of the Amazon Web Services cloud computing platform. It is built on technology from the massive parallel processing data warehouse company ParAccel to handle large scale data sets and database migrations, differing from Amazon's other hosted database offering, Amazon RDS, in its ability to handle analytic workloads on big data sets stored under a column-oriented DBMS principle; a Redshift cluster can hold up to 16 petabytes of data.

FAQs

Do you have to manage servers to use Amazon Redshift?

No. Redshift Serverless provisions and scales capacity for you, while provisioned clusters are available if you prefer to manage resources yourself.

Not necessarily. Amazon Redshift Serverless lets you access and analyze data without all of the configurations of a provisioned data warehouse, and AWS states that resources are automatically provisioned and capacity is intelligently scaled. AWS also states that you do not incur charges when the data warehouse is idle. If you prefer to manage your Redshift resources manually, you can instead create provisioned clusters for your data querying needs.
