Amazon Redshift Serverless became generally available in the Asia Pacific (Melbourne) and Canada West (Calgary) regions, extending its no-cluster-setup analytics service to these geographies. The platform automatically provisions and scales data warehouse capacity based on workload demand, allowing users to pay only for compute consumed per second.
Users could query data directly with tools like Query Editor V2 or third-party clients without modifying existing analytics applications. Redshift Serverless supported creation of databases, schemas, and tables, and enabled querying of data in open formats such as Apache Parquet and Iceberg on S3, with unified billing for cross-source queries.
