Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Redash

  • A basic self-hosted deployment needs a minimum of 4GB of RAM, and more RAM and CPU as background workers and API processes grow
  • The official Docker images were not updated for V10, so the documented route is to deploy a V8 instance and then upgrade it
  • Anyone not using a provided cloud image has to configure the environment variables and secrets by hand

Uniswap

  • High gas fees on Ethereum network during congestion periods
  • Slippage can be significant for large trades in low-liquidity pairs
  • No order book, making it inefficient for large institutional trades
  • Front-running risk on public blockchain transactions
