Amazon Redshift is preferred by more customers than any other cloud data storage. Redshift powers analytic workloads for Fortune 500 companies and startups, as well as everything in between. Redshift has helped Lyft grow from a startup to multi-billion-dollar enterprises. It's easier than any other data warehouse to gain new insights from all of your data. Redshift allows you to query petabytes (or more) of structured and semi-structured information across your operational database, data warehouse, and data lake using standard SQL. Redshift allows you to save your queries to your S3 database using open formats such as Apache Parquet. This allows you to further analyze other analytics services like Amazon EMR and Amazon Athena. Redshift is the fastest cloud data warehouse in the world and it gets faster each year. The new RA3 instances can be used for performance-intensive workloads to achieve up to 3x the performance compared to any cloud data warehouse.

Apache HBase™, is used when you need random, real-time read/write access for your Big Data. This project aims to host very large tables, billions of rows and X million columns, on top of clusters of commodity hardware.

Parquet was created to provide the Hadoop ecosystem with the benefits of columnar, compressed data representation. Parquet was built with complex nested data structures and uses the Dremel paper's record shredding/assemblage algorithm. This approach is better than flattening nested namespaces. Parquet is designed to support efficient compression and encoding strategies. Multiple projects have shown the positive impact of the right compression and encoding scheme on data performance. Parquet allows for compression schemes to be specified per-column. It is future-proofed to allow for more encodings to be added as they are developed and implemented. Parquet was designed to be used by everyone. We don't want to play favorites in the Hadoop ecosystem.
