# Firebolt · compute · 2023

Revision 1 (11 October 2026) · Modeled snapshot · through 8 October 2026.

All figures are research-informed estimates of analytical activity. Significant errors may remain; decimal places do not imply measurement precision.

0.15% of the full compute layer.

[Firebolt](https://history.columnar.tech/technologies/compute/firebolt.md): historical names and annual shares.

An analytical database launched publicly in December 2020. Its share is separated from Other analytics, rather than added to the total. Its own database storage stays native even when it is stored on S3.

Connections below describe the whole Firebolt engine. Access and storage mixes are estimated separately; they are not a joint interface-to-storage distribution.

## Access use within this engine

| Option | Share of engine activity | Share of full access layer |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [Firebolt vendor-specific interface](https://history.columnar.tech/technologies/access/vendor-firebolt.md) | 50% | <0.1% |
| [JDBC](https://history.columnar.tech/technologies/access/jdbc.md) | 30% | <0.1% |
| [Python DB-API (other drivers)](https://history.columnar.tech/technologies/access/python.md) | 20% | <0.1% |

## Storage use within this engine

| Option | Share of engine activity | Share of full storage layer |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [Firebolt native storage](https://history.columnar.tech/technologies/storage/native-firebolt.md) | 100% | 0.2% |
