With direct query, every dashboard view and filter change runs a query on Redshift, which on Redshift Serverless means compute is billed whenever someone is looking at a chart. SPICE copies the dataset into QuickSight's in-memory engine on a refresh schedule, so viewers get fast charts and Redshift works only during the refresh. Each Author includes 10 GB of SPICE, with extra capacity billed per GB. Keep direct query for datasets too large for SPICE or dashboards that need data fresher than the refresh schedule allows.",{"question":444,"answer":445},"Can I embed these dashboards in my own product for customers?","Yes, and it's one of QuickSight's strengths, but the pricing model changes. Embedding for your own staff can use ordinary Reader seats. For customers who don't have AWS or QuickSight identities, anonymous embedding is billed through reader session capacity rather than per user, bought in packs of sessions. Multi-tenant embedding also needs row-level security on the datasets, so each customer's session only returns their own rows; design the tenant column into the Redshift tables before building the dashboards.",{"question":447,"answer":448},"How hard is it to move off this stack later?","The data moves more easily than the dashboards. Redshift's UNLOAD command writes tables to S3 as Parquet, which Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, or ClickHouse can load directly, and Redshift's SQL is close enough to PostgreSQL that most queries port with light edits. QuickSight dashboards have no export to other BI tools, so analyses and calculated fields are rebuilt by hand in the new tool.
