Congrats to the DuckDB team (DuckLabs) joining AWS! Big moment, and curious to see what it unlocks for the DuckDB ecosystem. I started talking about DuckDB on YouTube back in 2023, when it still felt like an underdog (probably one of the first videos on DuckDB out there?!). Since then I've kept sharing what makes it special and helping more folks discover the world of ducks and data. I also spent years deep in the AWS data ecosystem, so it feels surreal to see DuckDB get here. What I like about how they did it: DuckDB and DuckLake stay under the independent DuckDB Foundation, and the team stays together to keep pushing the engine. Yes, things will get more competitive. But more money going into DuckDB is good news for everyone building on it. Remember how many managed Spark offerings there are? On my side, I'll keep educating people about data engineering, analytics, and DuckDB, and keep showing how MotherDuck pushes the DuckDB experience forward... with a sparkle of AI, because you can't avoid it these days.
it's amazing what you can do from the terminal nowadays with minimal setup https://t.co/Jy50mFcs3v
