We at MotherDuck are working closely with the DuckDB folks to deliver a serverless analytics service powered by DuckDB [0]. Currently in open Beta and driving towards GA. Our users are certainly recognizing how fast DuckDB is in the cloud.

One of the reasons we exist is because DuckDB is meant to be a single-player database. MotherDuck is doing tons of heavy-lifting to turn it into a true multi-player data warehouse, so things like IAM/sharing, persistence, time travel, administration, the ecosystem and so forth.

What's magical about MotherDuck is that virtually any DuckDB instance in the wild can connect to MotherDuck by simply running '.open motherduck:' [1], and suddenly you get all these aforementioned benefits.
