MotherDuck / DuckDB

MotherDuck provides a simplified, performant and efficient data warehouse (based on the lightweight DuckDB engine) for the 95% of data teams and data app developers that don’t need petabyte scale.

Its unique architecture blends the flexibility and scale of cloud with the power of users' own laptops for analytics. The current data warehouse model is a big mainframe monolith that everyone shares, often leading to resource contention. With MotherDuck, each user gets her own duckling (isolated runtime), so users have a consistently performant experience.

Analyst-focused: MotherDuck focuses on key tasks [loading data, analysing data, integration with ecosystem], providing a simplified experience.

• Serverless – no need to worry about tinkering with setup
• UI makes key data engineering tasks easy
• AI assists
• Beautiful, lightning-fast SQL
• Use your laptop for horsepower to speed up analytics and reduce cloud costs.

Architected for Data Apps as a fast and cost-effective solution to handle high-concurrency, low-latency workloads
