If you mean Amazon Redshift alternatives for a data warehouse / analytics platform, here are the main options by category:

Managed cloud data warehouses

  • Snowflake — very popular, easy to use, strong separation of storage/compute, good for multi-cloud.
  • Google BigQuery — serverless, fast to start, great for large-scale SQL analytics.
  • Azure Synapse Analytics — best if you’re already deep in Microsoft/Azure.
  • Databricks SQL / Lakehouse — strong if your data platform is already on Spark/Delta Lake.

Open-source / self-managed

  • ClickHouse — excellent for fast OLAP queries, often cheaper at scale, more operational effort.
  • Apache Druid — good for real-time analytics and dashboards.
  • Trino (PrestoSQL) — query engine that federates multiple data sources, often paired with object storage.
  • Greenplum — MPP database, more traditional warehouse style.

“Warehouse on object storage” / lakehouse style

  • Athena + S3 — serverless SQL over data in S3; good for lighter workloads.
  • DuckDB — great for local analytics, embedded use, and smaller-scale workflows.
  • Delta Lake / Apache Iceberg + Trino/Spark — modern open table formats for scalable analytics.

If you want a simpler OLAP database

  • Rockset
  • Firebolt
  • SingleStore

Quick picking guide

  • Easiest managed replacement: Snowflake
  • Best serverless at scale: BigQuery
  • Best for AWS-native low-ops: Athena + S3 or Redshift Serverless
  • Best for fast, cost-efficient OLAP: ClickHouse
  • Best open data-lake approach: Iceberg + Trino/Spark
  • Best for real-time dashboards: Druid or ClickHouse

If you want, I can also give you:
