My perspective on a brief trial of BigQuery and RedShift: 1) RedShift is PostgreSQL 8 with some additional features, and while can significantly improve some query runtimes, comes with usual DBA burdens as an on-premise database. 2) BiqQuery is a true cloud implementation. Its SQL syntax is evolving and may not have some features older platforms do, but the concepts of the physical implementation is completely removed from the user's concern. Were I going to start a new project without existing dependence on AWS, BigQuery would have an advantage.
