Performance optimization has become paramount in cloud data warehousing for organisations that need to make decisions based on fast, accurate insights. As cloud-native data platforms become the norm for modern businesses, performance bottlenecks that can slow data processing and query execution times present new challenges. These obstacles slow down operations and can also cause higher operational costs, less efficient data processing, and lost business opportunities.

To address these hurdles, organizations turn to AWS, a robust cloud infrastructure capable of providing scalable and reliable solutions, alongside third-party tools for specific performance challenges. In this article, we’ll examine typical performance bottlenecks, how AWS tools can help mitigate them, and the role of third-party tools in improving cloud data warehouse performance.
