Firebolt Unveils Next-Gen Cloud Data Warehouse for Low-Latency Analytics and Efficiency

Cloud data warehousing company Firebolt announced the general availability of its next-generation Cloud Data Warehouse (CDW), which is purpose-built to deliver low-latency analytics with drastic efficiency gains. According to the company, the new solution is built upon five years of relentless development and continuous feedback from users and real-world use cases.

Firebolt CDW is architected for modern workloads in data at both unprecedented efficiency and low-latency analytics, so millisecond query performance comes at the lowest cost. "We are excited to announce the next-generation Cloud Data Warehouse - with ultra-low latency of top query accelerators and the capability to scale and transform massive, diverse datasets from any source," said Eldad Farkash, Firebolt's CEO & co-founder. "This is a milestone in data warehousing, designed for now and for the next generation of analytic applications."

Firebolt CDW offers key features such as:

·        Highest Possible Efficiency: Designed to support millisecond query performance with the least cost, this is when real-time insights in data applications come without compromise.

·        Concurrency at Scale: High QPS values support it and meet the demands of data-intensive applications requiring heavy workloads.

·        Flexible Infrastructure: It's a fully decoupled, scalable architecture bringing granular and multidimensional scaling down to the right size compute resources for dynamic workload needs.

·        SQL Simplicity: Provisioning through to querying, everything in Firebolt is SQL. PostgreSQL compliance, therefore, permits integration into existing workflows and tools while supporting both structured and semi-structured data analytics.

Some of the organizations that have already gained significant value from implementing Firebolt's CDW include:

·        Similarweb: Achieved sub-second query performance over more than one petabyte of data in production, ingesting five terabytes every day.

·        Bigabid: Analyses 1 million ad auctions per second, achieving a 400X performance gain over MySQL, with 77% less storage needs than it.

"We are excited to offer a free trial of Firebolt's CDW, allowing organizations to experience the power of low-latency analytics and efficiency for themselves," said Farkash.
