Funny to read this since based on my testing so far DuckDB is not quite rockstable yet, requires preloading the httpfs module and setting 5 parameters each tun just to query a file off S3 (often very slowly, mostly because of the folder crawling/list logic?) with non standard SQL for extensions and segfaults frequently during testing if the remote server has any unexpected response (also not working too well with S3 clones). The WASM version differs in s3 settings, too but this is not well documented. If you really love opensource and with such a long career you should know there is no point in badmouthing other projects in order to achieve success, particularly from leadership positions. Just make DuckDB great and let happy users speak on your behalf. Nobody wants to be part of a toxic community this early in.

I do NOT work for ClickHouse, but I've been running super stable distributed CH clusters for years.
