OpenGov’s Analytics Overhaul: From Redshift to Subsecond Speed

11AM PT | 12PM CEST/10AM UTC | 11AM IST

Discover how OpenGov migrated from Redshift to Firebolt to deliver faster insights, scale to 250K+ queries/hour, and support 500+ civic customers—all while cutting operational overhead.

OpenGov—trusted by thousands of cities, counties, and state agencies—needed more from their analytics stack. As demand surged across 500+ civic customers, their Redshift-powered platform hit a wall: slow queries, frustrated users, and mounting operational overhead.

That’s when they turned to Firebolt.

In this live session, hear how OpenGov modernized their customer-facing reporting platform—replacing Redshift with Firebolt to unlock real-time insights, reduce query costs, and dramatically improve performance at scale. You’ll get firsthand insight from the engineering lead behind the migration, plus a breakdown of the benchmarks that proved Firebolt could handle billions of records, tens of thousands of tables, and up to 250K queries per hour.

We’ll also go under the hood to explore the architecture that makes Firebolt purpose-built for high-concurrency, low-latency analytics—ideal for data platforms serving hundreds of organizations.
