Lately duckdb is becoming a serious competitor for my use of datasette because it's eliminating a step for most of my workflows - converting csv to sqlite.

I've been thinking about how to swap it in as a backend for datasette (maybe as a plugin?) but it seems inherently riskier as it needs to at very least be able to read a folder to list all the csvs available for my usecase. If I could hook that up with its native s3 support I'd be unstoppable (at work)

I have a medium term ambition to make Datasette backends a plugin mechanism, and the two I am most excited about are DuckDB and PostgreSQL.
