24 alternatives to Qduck – DuckDB client API for KDB/Q
Open source library for allowing KDB users to interact with DuckDB. The main motivation was to be able to query open data formats on s3 buckets without having to rely on python/pykx. Great for adhoc research when you want to join new data with existing data stored in KDB.

Hello HN! We're excited to announce MyDuck Server, an open-source project that seamlessly integrates the analytical power of DuckDB with your existing MySQL & Postgres databases. *Backstory* Currently, there are no fully satisfactory open-source OLAP solutions for MySQL & Postgres. In the MySQL ecosystem, HeatWave offers close integration, but it's a proprietary, commercial product from Oracle. The Postgres community has seen promising DuckDB-based extensions emerge, including the official pg_duckdb. However, extensions can introduce isolation concerns in mission-critical environments.…

Hi folks.. Co-founder and Head of Produck at MotherDuck. We're building a new type of analytics data platform based on an exciting open source project DuckDB! We just launched today, so please head over to our website and request an invite[0]! When we first started MotherDuck a little over a year ago, we realized that the modern data platforms like BigQuery and Snowflake are of exceptional quality. They're also very mature, packing diverse set of features across a variety of use cases. So it doesn't seem like a good idea to go and compete with them... But then we found DuckDB. DuckDB changes…

I built Duck-UI, a web-based SQL editor that runs DuckDB entirely in your browser via WebAssembly. No backend required. The Problem: Every time I needed to query csv, parquet, or even to play with SQL, I had to either: (a) spin up a Jupyter notebook (b) use the CLI (c) upload to a hosted service. Friction at every step (TOO MUCH to load a csv or even to test some sql (study)... The Solution: DuckDB's WASM runtime lets us run SQL analysis client-side. Load CSV/JSON/Parquet files from disk or URL, write SQL, get results instantly. Data stays on your machine. What It Does: SQL editor…

Hey folks. I'm the author of kr8s. I’ve been working on kr8s for a while now and one of my core goals is to build a Python library for Kubernetes that is the most simple, readable and produces the most maintainable code. It should enable folks to write clean code when working with the Kubernetes API. If you're interested in how it compares with other libraries then check out [this post](https://jacobtomlinson.dev/posts/2023/comparison-of-kr8s-vs-...). Happy to answer any questions you might have in the comments here .

I'm excited to showcase Kreuzberg! Kreuzberg is a modern Python library built from the ground up with async/await, type hints, and optimized I/O handling. It provides a unified interface for extracting text from documents (PDFs, images, office files) without external API dependencies. Key technical features: - Built with modern Python best practices (async/await, type hints, functional-first) - Optimized async I/O with anyio for multi-loop compatibility - Smart worker process pool for CPU-bound tasks (OCR, doc conversion) - Efficient batch processing with concurrent…

Hi HN! I’m an engineer at Artie where we do real-time data replication. We were adding MotherDuck as a destination and the first version just used DuckDB’s Go driver directly. It worked great on my machine… until we wired it into our Transfer service (https://github.com/artie-labs/transfer). Because the driver requires CGO, our cross-compiles to amd64 and arm64 started failing, we lost our easy static binaries, and our Docker images had to pull in C toolchains and system libraries just to support one dependency. We tried isolating the CGO bits in a separate module, but it…

Hi everyone, I’m Timo, one of the creators of SuperDuperDB ! Today we are officially launching SuperDuperDB, an open-source framework for integrating AI directly with major databases, including streaming inference, scalable model training, and vector search, with release of v0.1. on GitHub and on ProductHunt. SuperDuperDB is not a database. It transforms your favorite database into an AI development and deployment environment (𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘵 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘦𝘳-𝘥𝘶𝘱𝘦𝘳). SuperDuperDB eliminates complex MLOps pipelines, specialized vector databases - and the need to migrate and duplicate data by…

Hi everyone, I'm a PhD student in databases at CMU. Over the past few months, I've been interning at Columnar and building a community extension for DuckDB that lets you query Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and any other system with an ADBC (Arrow Database Connectivity) driver. The extension supports querying ADBC databases directly through a read_adbc table function. It also supports using ATTACH to connect to an ADBC database and then running SELECT, INSERT, COPY, and CTAS statements as if the database were local to DuckDB. You can install it from DuckDB by running:…
