Yea, DuckDB is a slam dunk when you have a relatively static dataset - object storage is your durable primary SSOT, and ephemeral VMs running duckdb pointed at the object storage parquet files are your scalable stateless replicas - but the story gets trickier in the face of frequent ongoing writes / inserts. ClickHouse handles that scenario well, but I suspect the MotherDuck folks have answers for that in mind :)
