We use Amazon Redshift for structured data warehousing. It allows us to store, retrieve, and analyze large volumes of structured data quickly and efficiently. It is used to support decision-making, identify trends, and gain insights into the business. Furthermore, we use Amazon Redshift can be used to create dashboards, generate reports, and perform ad-hoc queries on data to support business intelligence and analytics efforts. We also use it to support our customer service applications or fraud detection systems

Amazon Redshift, BigQuery, and Snowflake are all fully managed data warehouse services that are designed to handle large volumes of structured data and support business intelligence and analytics efforts. However, Amazon Redshift has the upper hand with its cost-effective storage, granular control, full integration with AWS and its design allowing it to scale up to petabyte-scale data warehouses.
