DuckDB is one of the things I've been most excited about in a long time. Introduced it to projects at 3 companies since 2023, greatly lowering resource requirements and running it in a variety of environments. Just having the ability to do out of core bigger than memory data processing on lower end consumer grade hardware is remarkable.

Thanks to the team for everything!

Curious to learn more about how people are using it?

Are they downloading parquet files and running analyses locally, or are they connecting to Iceberg-like data lake and leveraging DuckDBs query engine capabilities or have you exposed an interface (REST, UI) to query your data?

I <3 DuckDB. It has become one of my go to tools for storing, data processing , integrations and now even graph. More importantly it's fun to use because it is so portable. Looking forward to v2.

Ditto! Very happy with the upcoming async support! Now it'll be a nice little db for serving http traffic as well!

The last year of DuckDB enhancements feel like the shift from in-process execution engine (which it is phenomenal at) to an engine that can serve as the foundation of a cloud data warehouse. I know the founders were reticent about not wanting to build that, but I have a feeling it is in the works.

I've been using MotherDuck as a data warehouse for some time now. No regrets.

This is cool

What about the runtime size? I care this because I intend to run a stripped WASM version of DuckDB in browser.

Was hoping to see procedural functionality like PL/pgSQL... regardless, an astonishing project overall.
