Running Distributed Computing Jobs with Redshift Data

Redshift

Amazon Redshift is a popular data warehousing solution that can handle data on an exabytes scale. It is useful for processing real-time analytics, combining multiple data sources, log analysis, or more. Redshift uses parallel-processing and compression to decrease command execution time. This allows Redshift to perform operations on billions of rows at once. This also makes Redshift useful for storing and analyzing large quantities of data from logs or live feeds through a source such as Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose.

Distributed Computing

Distributed computing technology refers to a system where multiple computers work together to solve a problem. It allows for parallel processing of data across multiple machines, which can lead to faster processing times. Distributed computing technology has become increasingly popular due to the rise of big data. It allows for the processing of large amounts of data that would be too large for a single machine to handle. Some examples of distributed computing technologies include Apache Hadoop, Apache Spark, and Apache Flink.

With the growing popularity of both Redshift for data storage and distributed computing for compute workloads, it is unsurprising that many organizations are seeking to run distributed computing jobs with Redshift data. Kaspian offers a native connector for this operation. Just register your Redshift datastore and link your Distributed Computing job; Kaspian's autoscaling compute layer makes it easy to crunch through any data in your cloud with minimal setup or management.
