What I heard is that AWS got there first with Redshift but then didn’t really invest as much as was required by users so Snowflake found an opening and pounced on it.

BigQuery in GCP is a pretty great alternative and I know that GCP invests/promotes it heavily, but they were slightly late to the market.

BigQuery is pretty great. The serverless by default setup works very well for most BI use cases. There are some weird issues when you're a heavy user and start hitting the normally hidden quotas.

There are some ways around the heavy user issues that aren't ideal but will work for BI-oriented heavy users.
