QuickSight + AWS: A Complete Solution

QuickSight + RedshiftRedshift is one the fastest growing services in the AWS platform. QuickSight seamlessly connects to Redshift giving you native access to all of your instances, and tables.

Amazon Redshift

Achieve high concurrency by offloading end user queries to SPICE

Calculations can be done in SPICE reducing the load on the underlying database

QuickSight + S3Amazon S3 holds trillions of objects. QuickSight and SPICE enable you to visualize data files in S3 and dump data from data lakes onto S3 – then import directly to QuickSight without the need for an intermediate data warehouse.

Athena

QuickSight + RDSQuickSight can connect directly to your hosted databases in RDS, allowing users to analyze operational data sources directly rather than relying on an additional DW layer – just like a data mart.
