Snowflake vs Redshift vs BigQuery

Key differences between Snowflake, Redshift, and BigQuery:

Data Types
It is essential to understand the estimated volume and types of data you will be managing, as well as the sources from which this data will originate.

AWS Redshift

AWS Redshift

Supports:
JSON

Google BigQuery

Google BigQuery

Supports:
JSON
XML

Snowflake

Snowflake

Supports:
JSON
XML
Avro
Parquet (using a special data type)

Support and Maintenance

Setup:

  • Sizing appropriate cluster as storage & compute are not separated
  • Designing data workflow to match resource size
  • Data optimization required

Maintenance:

  • Requires Vacuuming/ Analysing tables periodically

Management:

  • Difficult to manage without skilled AWS architect
  • Customers may spend hours doing maintenance like updating

Setup:

  • No sizing required as storage & compute are Separated

Maintenance:

  • Low maintenance
  • Limitations:
    • No indexes
    • No column Constraints
    • No performance tuning capabilities

Management:

  • Fully managed service
  • Backend configuration & tuning is handled by Google

Setup:

  • No sizing required as storage & compute are separated
  • Selection of cloud provider required

Management:

  • Zero management from end users

Maintenance:

  • Low maintenance
  • Automatic and rapid provisioning of greater compute resource

Scalability: horizontally vs. vertically

  • Local storage configuration; customers cannot scale resource independently
  • Resizing or changing machine instance type requires cluster reconfiguration, which can take several hours while data is redistributed and places the cluster in read-only mode for the duration
  • Storage & compute are separated
    • Full elasticity
    • Automatic and rapid provision for greater compute resource to handle large data loads
  • Storage & compute are separated
  • Storage and compute can be scaled up and down independently and immediately; and the metadata service will scale up & down as necessary
  • Trillions of rows can be sliced up with ease by multiple concurrent users

Security

  • Strong focus on security
  • In addition to database security, other security features provided are:
    • Sign-in credentials
    • SSL connection
    • Load data encryption & more
  • Takes security very seriously
  • All data is encrypted and in transit by default
  • Administration can be fine-tuned via Cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM) and more
  • Secured as per cloud provider's features

Pricing Models
Assessing which solution offers the best value for money is challenging, as it heavily relies on the specific use case. Therefore, we will outline the most effective use cases for each platform. First, let's examine the pricing models.

AWS Redshift

  • Per for instance/ clusters
  • On-Demand Pricing at an hourly rate depending on instance type & number of nodes
  • Spectrum Pricing for bytes scanned while querying against S3
  • Reserved Instance Pricing, prepayment of hourly rate at discounts of up to 75% over on-demand rates

Google BigQuery

  • Query-based pricing model for compute resources, in which users are charged for the amount of data that is returned for their queries
    • $5 per terabyte scanned
    • Discounted rate: 500 slots at a monthly flat rate of $10,000, or an annual flat rate of $8,500
    • First terabyte of queries every month is free
  • Storage pricing
    • $20 per terabyte per month for active storage
    • $10 per terabyte per month for long-term storage
    • first 10 gigabytes of storage every month are free

Snowflake

  • Time-based pricing model for compute resources, in which users are charged for execution time
    • Approximately $0.00056 per second
  • Storage pricing
    • $23 per terabyte per month if paid upfront
    • $40 per terabyte per month if on-demand
