Sounds really interesting, kudos for building a profitable business from scratch. I have no experience with redshift, we mostly use the ELK stack, so Kibana do to all the log analysis. Is redshift significantly better?

Using redshift for metrics, mostly OLAP.

Think about drilldown to 3 level, based on device, os, placement, country, ISP etc... along with click stats per variable.

I've never used elastic search for this.

Before that used bigquery but every query takes atleast 2 seconds.

So we had to move to a dedicated redshift cluster.
