Choosing A Cloud DBMS: Architectures and Tradeoffs
Summary: Cloud analytic DBMSs blend shared-storage with shared-nothing execution, revealing tradeoffs. On AWS with TPC-H, Redshift/Athena/Presto/Hive/Vertica favor S3 storage, ORC, and optional precompilation/caching to avoid penalizing ad hoc queries. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
