DuckDB: Big Data Unplugged

DuckDB, this nifty open-source database from Amsterdam, has taken the database world by storm. In this talk, I dive into what makes DuckDB special and what type of new system architectures it inspired. I demonstrate how DuckDB turns your portable devices into a powerful data processing machine. Finally, I explain our new lakehouse format, DuckLake, that allows DuckDB to run on cheap storage and act as a multiplayer system.
