Really excited about the future of DuckDB:

1. DuckLake is the best datalake spec and their team is improving on the extension rapidly.

2. With DuckDB WASM, you can make apps that would normally have 2 to 3 second latency for network calls work in < 200ms.

We use it as our built-in datalake at Definite and couldn't be happier with it.

Love the DuckLake spec. Now there is something similar for Graphs.

The catalog is based on the now archived kuzu graph db project. Development continuing here: https://github.com/LadybugDB/ladybug

I love duckdb but I don't understand your second point. How does duckdb wasm decrease the latency of network calls in your app?

[benrutter]

Not OP, but depending on your use case, client side operations could be a big deal.

Something like a dashboard app for instance, might have callbacks where it needs to run a new SQL query based on input, but be small enough to make loading all data onto menory and querying locally a mich faster option.

Obviously ymmv and if you have a dashboard with a heavy data set under the hood, your gonna make a lot of users unhappy fast by doing that.

for many uses cases, you can cache a dataset client side that can be re-queried to avoid network calls

I am curious is anyone using DuckDB in prod?

[mritchie712]

Yes, we run DuckDB + DuckLake in prod for https://www.definite.app/

Is DuckLake compatible with Iceberg? I remember they create a new catalog.

[mlnj]

Yes, you can use

INSTALL iceberg;

to start working with iceberg https://duckdb.org/docs/stable/core_extensions/iceberg/overv...

[matsonj]

Sure - https://motherduck.com/blog/15-companies-duckdb-in-prod/

[mgaunard]

of course, why wouldn't you?

I was using it even before it hit 1.0

Agreed. I just wish that the vector support were fully supported. It has been experimental for a long time.
