Here’s the difference between Redshift and Firebolt. The comparison is based on pricing, deployment, business model, and other important factors.
Amazon Redshift is a fully managed petabyte scale data warehouse service. Redshift is designed for analytic workloads and connects to standard SQL based clients and business intelligence tools. Redshift delivers fast query and I/O performance for virtually any size dataset by using columnar storage technology and parallelizing and distributing queries across multiple nodes. Most common administrative tasks associated with provisioning, configuring, monitoring, backing up, and securing a data warehouse are automated.
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.
