The real cost of cloud data warehouses: how they bill you and which is the most cost-efficient
Tom breaks down how ClickHouse runs benchmarks, how major cloud data warehouses bill for compute, and how each platform stacks up in a cost-to-performance comparison.
In this presentation, Tom walks through how ClickHouse runs benchmarks, how cloud data warehouses bill for compute, and how they each perform in a cost:performance benchmark.
Every cloud data warehouse models their compute differently, which affects how you are billed. To work out how much each warehouse costs, you need to understand their compute model, map the compute model to the billing model, and then apply pricing. It's complex.
Tom is a data platform expert that has been educating on the internals of database for many years. In this video he walks through the compute models of Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Redshift and ClickHouse Cloud.
Is cloud data warehouse performance the most important metric? Is lower sticker pricing always better? How do you get the most bang-for-your-buck on every dollar you spend on your cloud data warehouse?
What really matters is cost-to-performance.
If you've ever wondered how you're supposed to work out what a cloud data warehouse really costs, here's your answer.
