I korthet

MotherDuck is DuckDB in the cloud. Query large datasets with SQL, zero infrastructure. Integrates with S3, Iceberg, Parquet. Teams report 50-70% faster data exploration vs traditional warehouses. Senior data engineers comfortable with MotherDuck earn 10-15% premium. Mastery takes 2-4 weeks.

Vad är MotherDuck Serverless

MotherDuck is a cloud version of DuckDB (an embedded SQL database). Instead of managing servers/warehouses, you query data in S3 with SQL. MotherDuck handles scaling, caching, and optimization. Pay per query executed. A typical workflow: store data in S3 (parquet/iceberg), query with MotherDuck, visualize results. No ETL pipelines, no data copying, no infrastructure management.

❓ Vanliga frågor

What's MotherDuck?
DuckDB is an in-process SQL database (like SQLite). MotherDuck = DuckDB in the cloud. Query S3 data without copying. Pay per query. No infrastructure to manage.
How fast is MotherDuck?
Fast. DuckDB optimized for analytics (vectorized query execution). 10-100x faster than pandas for same operation. Slower than BigQuery for massive scans, but cheaper for exploratory queries.
Can I use MotherDuck for production?
Emerging. Reliable for analytics, notebooks, dashboards. OLAP (analytics) not OLTP (operational). Not ideal for high-concurrency transactional systems.
How do I load data into MotherDuck?
Query S3, Iceberg, Parquet directly. No upload. Example: SELECT * FROM read_parquet('s3://bucket/file.parquet'). DuckDB federates queries across sources.
Can I integrate MotherDuck with dbt?
Yes. dbt-duckdb adapter supports MotherDuck. Build dbt models using MotherDuck as warehouse.
What about query limits?
MotherDuck handles petabytes (in theory). Practical limits depend on query complexity, timeout. Most analytics queries finish in seconds.
