I love the idea of PRQL and having a DuckDB extension will make it a lot easier to play with since I'm already using that for my hobby data science projects.

Can you share your use of this? I’m interesting in using duckdb and wanted a boost from people with more experience.

Currently playing with postgress and dbt.

I replaced a ton of pandas code with an embedded DuckDB for internal data application and got a massive performance boost and (arguably) cleaner code.

You can replace local postgres with DuckDB and it should be even faster for data analysis.

And if you want a severless hosted DuckDB with managed storage, sharing, UI, and ecosystem support, check out MotherDuck[0]!

Do y'all have a reference architecture or templates for local development with CICD pipelines?

My last data engineering team struggled to get something like that working with BigQuery, so I'm super excited about the possibility of better data warehouse developer tooling.
