Amazon Redshift Serverless adds queue-based query resource management

Amazon Redshift Serverless introduces queue-based query resource management. You can create dedicated query queues with customized monitoring rules for different workloads. This feature provides granular control over resource usage. Queues let you set metrics-based predicates and automated responses. For example, you can configure rules to automatically abort queries that exceed time limits or consume too many resources.

Previously, Query Monitoring Rules (QMR) were applied only at the Redshift Serverless workgroup level, affecting all queries run in this workgroup uniformly. The new queue-based approach lets you create queues with distinct monitoring rules. You can assign these queues to specific user roles and query groups. Each queue operates independently, with rules affecting only the queries within that queue. The available monitoring metrics can be found in Query monitoring metrics for Amazon Redshift Serverless.

This feature is available in all AWS regions that support Amazon Redshift Serverless. You can manage QMR with queues through the AWS Console and Redshift APIs.

For implementation details, see the documentation in the Amazon Redshift management guide.
