How Kimberly Clark hacked Redshift optimization saving over $250k
tableau.comwhat can you optimize on Redshift? I mean you still need to define data type, schema distribution key...So its still be a pain in the ass.
What’s the PIA you’re referring to?
well before we used Panoply we used Redshift.
And it was a pain it didn't scale, changing data types was a bitch, even the amount of GB stored was sometimes off. I mean, today we use Panoply so it offsets a lot of the crap that goes into maintaining Redshift.
But I think that Redshift is just not good enough today and without Panoply its close to impossible to have real scale on it.
John Im not sure I understand your first comment, using Panoply you dont need to do any of that and with Panoply's automation they were able to optimize and save all that time and money
