5 Factors to Consider When Selecting a Data Warehouse
How to choose between Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks and Fabric: cost model, performance, ecosystem, governance and skills.
A data warehouse is a long-term commitment. These five factors matter most.
1. Pricing model
Some charge for compute time, others per query or data scanned. Model your real workloads.
2. Performance for your queries
Test with your own data and dashboards, not vendor benchmarks.
3. Ecosystem fit
Consider your cloud provider, BI tools and data pipeline tools.
4. Governance and security
Role-based access, column-level security, data masking and lineage.
5. Team skills
The best platform is one your team can operate confidently.
Our general guidance
BigQuery suits Google Cloud users; Microsoft Fabric suits Microsoft-centric organisations; Snowflake and Databricks are strong cloud-neutral choices.
