    What is the contracting Market for Amazon redshift like?

    I was helping a friend out a couple of days ago on writing some sql reports on a data warehouse sitting on Redshift. First time I ever head off it, I was surprised how similar it was to oracle with analytical functions looking through its developer guide.

    So Is there a developer/contract market for Redshift? Looking to up my skills at the moment since current gig is no longer holding much of a challenge or maybe it's the 10yr itch.

    It's not like that any more. It's like this:

    Python (Essential)
    Strong SQL & NoSQL Skills (Essential)
    Google Cloud platform and/or AWS (Essential)
    Spark
    Apache Airflow (Essential)
    Experience with Redshift and/or Big query (Essential)
    TDD/BDD (Essential)


    or

    Java/Scala, AWS, Microservices, Hadoop, Spark, Kafka, Amazon RedShift, BigQuery, Kinesis, DynamoDB.
