Firebolt
The Analytical Database for Engineers

Firebolt is a high-performance analytical database designed for engineers running AI workloads, sub-second analytics, and large-scale ELT pipelines. It offers up to 36x faster query performance at a fraction of the cost of traditional data warehouses, with support for Postgres SQL, Apache Iceberg, and ACID transactions. The platform supports elastic compute, multi-cloud deployment, and self-hosting options.
Firebolt uses a vectorized query runtime, fine-grained indexing, shared computation reuse, and multidimensional elastic compute to deliver fast, cost-efficient analytics on large datasets.
