It is apparent to me now that a performance comparison cannot be thorough without a product specialist to guide the optimization process. Absent of a specialist how can one decide if a new product is better? We run the risk of over analysis, driven by fear of missing a shallow optimization. Clearly, if the product performs better out-of-the-box than your existing, (assumed optimized) solution, then the answer is easy. But, even “out-of-the-box” can take a significant amount of time, like this case of Redshift. | It is apparent to me now that a performance comparison cannot be thorough without a product specialist to guide the optimization process.
