bye Kafka 👋

My father just proved he was right and I was wrong. Using AI. Well done 🫡

Engineering is fun. That is all.

Sufficiently-advanced software deployments are indistinguishable from magic.

Welcome to the age of $10/month Lakehouses! How to build and run a Lakehouse on top of @cloudflare.social R2 , Cloudflare Containers and Neon Postgres, all backed by the new DuckLake "SQL as Lakehouse" format, via @duckdb.org. tobilg.com/the-age-of-1...

ducklake.select is neat. But I'd put it into prod tomorrow if it was called Drake.

@jackhcable.bsky.social discussing product security in the AI era 🔥

@ethanrosenthal.com speaking 🔥

I've been exploring how to do Iceberg with the fewest dependencies possible. tl;dr -> @duckdb.org , @amazonwebservices.bsky.social S3 Tables, and a sprinkle of Python is awesome. jakthom.dev/blog/zero-in...

idc what anyone says, I love deploying static websites by hand

Arroyo is joining @cloudflare.social! We're bringing Arroyo to the Developer Platform as a serverless stream processing system, and will also remain open-source and self-hostable. www.arroyo.dev/blog/arroyo-...

So....has anyone built an MCP @duckdb.org extension yet?...

I'm looking forward to see you in person at the Iceberg summit in SF tomorrow. I'll be speaking about the evolution of data storage from Hadoop to Iceberg and how we're witnessing the Advent of The Open Data Lake. www.icebergsummit2025.com

I wrote a quick blog post on how to setup and use Amazon S3 Tables with @duckdb.org, based on its new Iceberg capabilities: tobilg.com/query-s3-tab...

🚀 Today at #DuckCon, I’ll give a lightning talk on graph analytics in @duckdb.org using SQL/PGQ & the DuckPGQ extension! In just 5 mins, get up to speed on the new syntax & running graph queries inside DuckDB. 🎥 Live stream (3 PM CET): www.youtube.com/@duckdb 📅 Program: duckdb.org/events/2025/...

DuckCon #6 a few hours away, Pakhuis De Zwijger or live on the @duckdb.org Youtube channel. duckdb.org/events/2025/... Speaker are impressive, looking forward to hear from them, chance to see in person a bunch of GitHub/Discord handles / talk DuckDB a bunch. I will be around, come to say quack!

Zig's concurrent/cached builds are sooo fast that I changed the default behavior of zig build to compile the extension for *all* supported DuckDB versions & platforms. Simplifies and speeds up CI. Also, the output dir (zig-out) is now a ready-to-use extension repository! github.com/mlafeldt/qua...

The first time I used Redshift was with @jamesdensmore.bsky.social, as its OLAP perf was wild compared to our Postgres analytics db. Snowflake then fixed of Redshift problems like WLM, workload isolation, upgrades, etc But we prob would not have used Redshift if DuckDB-in-PG had existed...

welcome @beardbrewery.bsky.social 👋

Yep

Dear Santa: Single-node, Kafka api-compat thing that shoves data into parquet. ♥️, me

No git repos are the next best thing but we're probably stuck with those for a while. github.com/jakthom/nodb #databs

The best code is no code at all. The best database is no database (infrastructure) at all. #databs

I totally missed that hell froze over: Arm runners are finally available on the free tier of @github.com actions! I repeat, ARM RUNNERS! `runs-on: ubuntu-22.04-arm` #databs #yamlgames

Jeep waving from my Prius is the most fun

me, a duckdb user, whispering in the ear of a summer research assistant at my professor father's villa in northern italy who i've quickly fallen in love with; the late afternoon sun warming the ancient stone walls as cicadas buzz in the apricot trees: "union all by name" #databs

OPFS support has landed in @duckdb.org WASM! That means you can now persist data in the browser, which opens a wide range of use cases… github.com/duckdb/duckd...

Fivetran casually adding support for attaching an iceberg catalog to #duckdb , nice !!! github.com/duckdb/duckd...
