CLOUD DATA WAREHOUSE PERFORMANCE TESTING

This report focuses on relational analytical databases in the cloud, because deployments are at an all-time high and poised to expand dramatically. This report outlines the results from a GigaOm Analytic Field Test derived from the industry standard TPC Benchmark™ DS (TPC-DS)¹ comparing Amazon Redshift, Azure SQL Data Warehouse, Google BigQuery, and Snowflake Data Warehouse — four relational analytical databases based on scale-out cloud data warehouses and columnar-based database architectures. Despite these similarities, there are some distinct differences between the four platforms.
