Amazon Redshift Spectrum vs Amazon AppFlow: What are the differences?

Amazon Redshift Spectrum: Exabyte-Scale In-Place Queries of S3 Data. With Redshift Spectrum, you can extend the analytic power of Amazon Redshift beyond data stored on local disks in your data warehouse to query vast amounts of unstructured data in your Amazon S3 “data lake” -- without having to load or transform any data; Amazon AppFlow: *Securely integrate apps and automate data flows at any scale, without code *. It is a fully managed integration service that enables you to securely transfer data between Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications like Salesforce, Marketo, Slack, and ServiceNow, and AWS services like Amazon S3 and Amazon Redshift, in just a few clicks. With AppFlow, you can run data flows at nearly any scale at the frequency you choose - on a schedule, in response to a business event, or on demand. You can configure data transformation capabilities like filtering and validation to generate rich, ready-to-use data as part of the flow itself, without additional steps. AppFlow automatically encrypts data in motion, and allows users to restrict data from flowing over the public Internet for SaaS applications that are integrated with AWS PrivateLink, reducing exposure to security threats.

Amazon Redshift Spectrum and Amazon AppFlow belong to "Big Data Tools" category of the tech stack.
