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.

Qduck – DuckDB client API for KDB/Q launched on April 20, 2025 with 5 votes and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.

DuckDB client API for KDB/Q. Contribute to jparmstrong/qduck development by creating an account on GitHub.

This client API integrates DuckDB into KDB/Q, allowing users to query open data formats (CSV, Parquet, and Iceberg) on S3 buckets directly and return results in native KDB table format. This simplifies existing ETL processing and provides immediate access to new datasets without needing to convert to on-disk KDB format first. Consider this experimental, test throughly before using in production.

    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.…

    MotherDuck – a serverless data analytics platform powered by DuckDB2023 · ▲17

    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…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
