Firebolt is the Analytical Database for Real-time Applications.
➡️ Get started @ firebolt.io
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.

Why pay just to run metadata queries?

Our system engine is always-on & always-free:

✅Run show tables, describe, and other metadata #queries
✅Access system views and #databases, tables, views, locations
✅Skip the delay and cost of starting a primary engine

💻 We just shipped a version of our Web UI which works directly with Firebolt Core - our free forever, self-hosted, distributed query engine.

Just like Firebolt Core itself, the Web UI can be run as a #Docker container.

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.

Performance benchmarks don’t lie.

We ran 25 real-world queries across Firebolt, Snowflake, Redshift, and BigQuery.

Firebolt’s smallest engine outperformed every config tested - even Snowflake XL.

This one’s for the “just let me build” crowd.

We’ve been expanding our client #ecosystem to make life easier for #developers who want to get things done—without glue code.

The focus is on clear #SDKs, solid #connectors, and #integrations that behave the way you’d expect.

Fast just got free. Here are 5 things you can do with Firebolt Core.

1. Run millisecond queries at scale
2. Power dashboards/data apps at high concurrency
3. Query Iceberg tables from object storage
4. Build and test analytics workflows locally
5. Scale out across multiple nodes
