2025 Data Warehouse Benchmark Report - Big 5
An in-depth performance comparison of major data warehouses under realistic workloads.
Key highlights
Cost
Understand how leading data warehouses compare when it comes to price efficiency. We measured performance-per-dollar across identical workloads to help you identify the most cost-effective options for your use case.
Speed
Benchmark results reveal which platforms offer the fastest query times under various analytical workloads — so you can choose a solution that meets your SLAs for real-time and batch analytics.
Scalability
Explore how well each warehouse handles increasing data volumes and concurrent queries. We tested vertical and horizontal scaling to expose differences in architecture and throughput.
Reliability
From uptime guarantees to consistency under load, we evaluated how each warehouse performs under stress conditions to highlight platform resilience.
Key Trends
The study uncovers notable trends across the warehouse ecosystem — including architectural shifts, trade-offs between compute and storage, and new optimization patterns shaping the future of analytics infrastructure.
And much more…
Dive into a comprehensive, transparent, and unbiased performance analysis. Whether you're migrating, optimizing, or comparing vendors, this benchmark gives you the data to make informed decisions.
How Estuary makes a difference
Hear how Estuary is making a difference for businesses like yours.
Estuary Flow transformed how we operationalize our data for fraud, security, support, and beyond.. Instead of unreliable, expensive backfills, we have real-time visibility into platform activity. The proactive support and hands-on approach make all the difference.
Read the Success Story
Our migration away from Rockset would’ve been 100x harder without the unique capabilities that Estuary provides. We’re materializing transformations from Snowflake, DynamoDB and MySQL to our warehouse in under a second. Estuary unlocks incremental materialization for any datastore while also providing a Kafka interface for all of our sources and derived collections. We now have an immense amount of flexibility to support any type of workload on our data platform.
Read the Success Story
Estuary has been a game-changer for Headset’s data infrastructure. Compared to our previous solutions, it has dramatically improved reliability while reducing our overall costs significantly.
Read the Success Story
Estuary just works. We’ve never had an incident, and it cut our data movement costs in half.
Read the Success Story
We didn’t want to be locked into a system where faster syncs meant higher bills. Estuary gives us real-time pipelines without pricing games or the burden of running Kafka ourselves.
Read the Success Story
We needed something self-serve, fast, and reliable, and Estuary delivered exactly that. It’s a huge unlock for our operations, reporting, and machine learning.
Read the Success Story
Estuary became our real-time data backbone without the cost or complexity of traditional solutions. We replaced a fragile, high-maintenance pipeline with a managed system that just works and scales.?
Read the Success Story
Estuary is our preferred CDC solution for importing data from application databases into BigQuery for analytics. It offers a transparent pricing structure, timely support responses, and an intuitive CLI tool for bulk configuration tasks. In contrast, other market solutions often have ambiguous pricing and fewer options for precise data replication across environments. This makes choosing to use Estuary an obvious decision.
Estuary Flow makes tough data transformation problems a piece of cake with its intuitive user interface and incredible breadth of features.
Estuary Flow is the only SaaS tool that we found which can do a simple loop and calculate COGS from an array of objects nested in a property. We love to write transformations in typescript because it's in the same codebase and super easy to maintain and read. It's a true game changer.
Getting #MINIMA real-time data replication out to the Postgres database was not fun until we found @EstuaryDev it is the best materialization.
Estuary makes working with real-time data more cost effective and just as simple as working with batch data.
This tool is 1000x times better than LogStash or Elastic Enterprise Data Ingestion Tool.
Estuary Flow allows us to integrate low-latency CDC and connect to SaaS apps across our entire reporting stack and it’s the only solution that we’ve found that lets us do both.
We needed a platform to help us optimize marketing campaigns with low-latency. Estuary provided an unparalleled solution to do that at terabyte scale.
Estuary is the only system we’ve found that can seamlessly replicate large scale Firestore data for analytics. After months of research and trying everything, we can confidently say that Estuary is the only company that can help us get easy, accurate analytics on our data within Snowflake when replicating from Firestore data.
We're a big fan of Estuary's real-time, no code model. It's magic that we're getting real time data without much effort and we don't have to spend time thinking about broken pipelines. We've also experienced fantastic support by Estuary.
