Case Study: a leading market research technology company achieves faster, lower-cost analytics with Firebolt

Leading Market Research Technology Company - Customer Case Study

The customer, a leading market research technology company, faced significant challenges with its restrictive homegrown analytics solution. Their system limited the types of analytics and data sizes they could support, made customer onboarding a lengthy process, and hindered their ability to add new features and scale. They evaluated alternatives like Elasticsearch and BigQuery but found them to be either too expensive or not the right fit for their AWS-based infrastructure.

The company implemented Firebolt for its segment analytics. The solution delivered dramatically faster query times, with all queries running in two seconds or less, and enabled much faster ELT processes and feature deployment. Firebolt's architecture provided the scalability to handle over 200TB of data and support all their customers. The solution resulted in a 5-20x lower infrastructure cost compared to alternatives and unlocked greater agility, allowing new analytics features to be rolled out in days instead of months.
