# Firebolt

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.

Layer: compute. Values cover the years in which this category appears in the public timeline. Absence is not proof of zero use.

## Names and inspection notes

### 2020: Firebolt

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. The initial 0.05% slice is an illustrative allowance for early use, not a measured share.

### 2021–2024: Firebolt

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.

### 2025–2026: Firebolt

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. Direct reads of external files and Iceberg tables have small separate storage allocations from 2025. Data copied into Firebolt’s own tables counts as native storage.
