Here’s the difference between Firebolt and Snowflake. The comparison is based on pricing, deployment, business model, and other important factors.
Firebolt is the world’s fastest cloud data warehouse, purpose-built for delivering a new grade of analytic experiences over big data. It provides tech companies with a modern data stack, an order of magnitude faster query performance at a fraction of the cost of the alternatives by combining the simplicity, elasticity and low cost of the cloud with the latest innovations in analytics. Engineering teams that adopted Firebolt have been able to deploy data applications and interactive analytics over big data in weeks while delivering sub-second performance at terabyte to petabyte scale.
Snowflake delivers the Data Cloud — a global network where thousands of organizations mobilize data with near-unlimited scale, concurrency, and performance. Inside the Data Cloud, organizations unite their siloed data, easily discover and securely share governed data, and execute diverse analytic workloads. Wherever data or users live, Snowflake delivers a single and seamless experience across multiple public clouds. Snowflake’s platform is the engine that powers and provides access to the Data Cloud, creating a solution for data warehousing, data lakes, data engineering, data science, data application development, and data sharing.
