Re:DuckDB – in-process SQL OLAP database management system by benjaminwootton on Friday February 10, 2023 @11:33PM (#34749611)
It’s more a comment on where the market is at rather than a recommendation. I’m not saying it is bad tech, but I don’t see it’s niche.

If you have a few billion records and you want to filter, join, aggregate them using SQL then DBT against an OLAP server solves that issue so well that it doesn’t leave much white space for DuckDB.

I mentioned modern data stack because when you have SaaS, low code, consumption based billing, open source etc then it treads even more on the DuckDB value prop.
