What are the differences between Amazon Redshift and the new AWS Glue datawarehousing services?

Question

I am confused about these two services. It looks that they are offering the same service. Probably the only difference is that the Glue catalog can contain a wider range of data sources. Does it mean that AWS Glue can replace Redshift?

Answer 1

The Comment is right , These two services are not same AWS Glue is ETL Service while AWS Redshift is Data Warehousing service.

According to AWS Documentation :

Amazon Redshift is a fast, fully managed, petabyte-scale data warehouse service that makes it simple and cost-effective to efficiently analyze all your data using your existing business intelligence tools. It allows you to run complex analytic queries against petabytes of structured data, using sophisticated query optimization, columnar storage on high-performance local disks, and massively parallel query execution.

According to AWS Documentation :

AWS Glue is a fully managed ETL (extract, transform, and load) service that makes it simple and cost-effective to categorize your data, clean it, enrich it, and move it reliably between various data stores

You can Refer the Documentation Provided by AWS for Details but essentially these are totally different services.
