I am curious is anyone using DuckDB in prod?

of course, why wouldn't you?
I was using it even before it hit 1.0

Yes, we run DuckDB + DuckLake in prod for https://www.definite.app/

Is DuckLake compatible with Iceberg? I remember they create a new catalog.

Agreed. I just wish that the vector support were fully supported. It has been experimental for a long time.

I love duckdb but I don't understand your second point. How does duckdb wasm decrease the latency of network calls in your app?

Not OP, but depending on your use case, client side operations could be a big deal.
Something like a dashboard app for instance, might have callbacks where it needs to run a new SQL query based on input, but be small enough to make loading all data onto menory and querying locally a mich faster option.
Obviously ymmv and if you have a dashboard with a heavy data set under the hood, your gonna make a lot of users unhappy fast by doing that.

for many uses cases, you can cache a dataset client side that can be re-queried to avoid network calls

Love the DuckLake spec. Now there is something similar for Graphs.
https://adsharma.github.io/graph-archiving/ https://adsharma.github.io/beating-the-CAP-theorem-for-graph...
The catalog is based on the now archived kuzu graph db project. Development continuing here: https://github.com/LadybugDB/ladybug
1. DuckLake is the best datalake spec and their team is improving on the extension rapidly.
2. With DuckDB WASM, you can make apps that would normally have 2 to 3 second latency for network calls work in < 200ms.
We use it as our built-in datalake at Definite and couldn't be happier with it.
