Mind-blowing performance and awesome support

We use Firebolt to power our Business Intelligence and Analytics module in our enterprise SaaS app. With our main transactional database being Postgres, and Firebolt being Postgres-API compatible, it was very easy to write the ELT process for the transactional data in our main database to the data warehouse in Firebolt. Our developers are also able to write Firebolt queries with ease, and the aggregate indexes have been extremely helpful at ensuring very fast performance given our reports group on many columns at once. Firebolt is also able to handle a very consistent "trickle ingestion" workflow which is unusual for this kind of use case but the main challenge that we faced when benchmarking other solutions. This way, we're able to ensure data in the data warehouse is never stale and all reports are pulling from the latest.

Outstanding speed and features at very reasonable cost, especially the new platform

**UPDATED: I wanted to update this review to reflect current thoughts especially after migration to the newer platform. Speeds have been markedly improved over the already fast engines that we had been used to. Engines are now multi-purpose. The .Net SDK has been improved dramatically. Support through our platform migration was top notch. Basically all of the great things about Firebolt have been doubled down and made greater. ============================================================ Original review: There are so many things but for starters, it's just how fast we are able to serve up query results to applications and end users regardless of the data set size. Hugely complicated queries run like lightning fast, so much so that we've pivoted from using Firebolt just for reporting and analytics to also including it in our internal tooling for our business. Things we simply couldn't pull off otherwise without a massive scaling of our infrastructure. The cost is simply unmatched for the levels of feature and performance. We're a small company with big ambitions but cost is still a paramount consideration. We have flexibility in controlling our costs and scaling as we see fit, which is great. I've found that my team has generally found the syntax to be pretty easy to pick up, it shares a lot of commonality with other SQL flavors we're familiar with. And even when it stumps us, the documentation is pretty robust (unlike many software vendors we use) and their support staff has been top-notch. They even share a channel in our Slack where we get quick answers to many of our questions. Firebolt goes so far as to proactively watch our query performance patterns and shares that with me and will help us fix them. Simply put, I work WITH Firebolt to solve our problems and limitations instead of working AROUND them like we have to with some other vendors.
