think BI tools, analytics dashboards for exploratory analysis, or even just exploratory analysis on the terminal with it's rich query capabilities. you can keep analytics data in SQLite, but DuckDB will process it faster/easier for the analytics use cases.

I thought about that, but I'd never use DuckDB for it because DuckDB is locked into a single process. I can't figure out a benefit of being suck with one core when I always have between 2 and 32 available to me.

DuckDB uses all of your cores! It just uses threads, not processes!
