If you're reading this and curious: consider writing a duckdb community extension* or contributing to an existing one*

duckdb is becoming a kind of data superglue between a lot of data ecosystems (GIS, observability, analytics, lakehouses, object storage, etc) that don't talk to each other typically, and it's worth checking out in 2026.

I just started doing this last week!

I'm not very good at C++, but coupled with the extension template and codex I got a basic version of my extension working within an hour. Go for it!

Just curious whether one can earn money making these exts?

You can definately offer consultation or custom integration.

That's going to be a difficult business in this age unless you have some uniquely strong ideas and products.

Thanks for your kind response. Could you guide further? Like businesses don't care about the tool/tech itself, how do I find and approach them, and for which niche.

Thanks in Advance
