LLMs don’t fail because they’re not smart.
They fail because they don’t know your schema.
In this session, we'll show you how Firebolt’s MCP server connects your database #schema to Claude - so your #AI can generate context-aware queries that work.

New in Firebolt: Automatic Cache Warmup 🌡️
Starting up or scaling out usually means cold caches and slower #queries until they fill.
With AUTO_WARMUP, Firebolt engines restore their #cache state on startup, so performance ramps up much faster.

Firebolt automatically removes redundant JOINs from queries (even when other query engines struggle)
It's common for apps generating SQL to produce complex #SQL queries with lots of JOINs. Firebolt can see through them and eliminate redundant ones, even in complex cases.
