I would categorize data tooling as a moving target - we have some, it&#x27;s never enough, it probably won&#x27;t ever be enough.  It&#x27;s a moving target (p.s. obligatory we&#x27;re hiring!).<p>I think this Quora post does a good job of redshift vs. bigquery: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.quora.com&#x2F;How-good-is-Googles-BigQuery-as-compared-to-Amazons-Redshift" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.quora.com&#x2F;How-good-is-Googles-BigQuery-as-compar...</a><p>More generally speaking, (excuse me for being a little hand-wavey here) many of the AWS offerings feel like polished, managed versions of familiar tools.  Redshift, for example, feels a bit like &quot;hey we figured out how to abstract away a bunch of mysql instances to feel like a big processing cluster&quot;.  That&#x27;s not a bad thing, necessarily. The google stuff feels much more intentional - &quot;we need to solve the problem of doing these sorts of queries at scale&quot; vs. &quot;we need to solve the problem of scaling mysql to solve these types of queries&quot;<p>Maybe they&#x27;re just better at abstraction, but whatever - that works for me!
