RedShift vs Elasticsearch

As a data engineer, you are constantly making trade-offs, and evaluating which technology will be best for your use case.

By this point in the class, we have learned 3 ways to "query" and ask questions of data:

  • Kinesis Data Analytics
  • Amazon RedShift
  • Elasticsearch

Let's examine a few use cases and categorize them accordingly - would they be better served by streaming analytics, a structured database like RedShift, or an unstructured database like Elasticsearch?
