I've used Redshift for many years and really like it, especially as a user. I'm following the development of DuckDB and one aspect that's nice about it is how predictable prices are when you run it on dedicated servers: https://fet.dev/posts/costs-of-analytics-on-dedicated-hardwa... .

If you don't have huge amounts of data I would take a look at it. Also, Cloudflare R2 might be a good alternative to S3 because there are no egress costs.

Are the predictable prices worth the trade-off of more labor to operate the servers? I work for a database vendor and find the economic trade-offs quite fascinating.
