Redshift is pretty terrible, stay away. AWS is even worse at delivering promises than Databricks and that's saying something.

I heard Google BigQuery is good. It is completely SaaS (like AWS Athena that works).

Unicorns often run their own stack and you could replicate that, if you have the apetite. Netflix and Apple run Trino + Spark on k8s + Iceberg. Uber used their own Hudi thing, not sure if they still do.

Apple is a big Deltalake (and Databricks) customer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFeBJxI4Q98

"Big" No, not really. They use Deltalake for the security use case, sure, but that pales in comparison to how much Iceberg they use.
