Reviewer scorecard
“Query Parquet files, CSVs, and Postgres directly with SQL. No ETL needed. The SQLite of analytics.”
“Simple to install but the data quality is limited. PostHog session replay is better for technical teams.”
“Most analytics don't need a data warehouse. DuckDB on your laptop handles billions of rows faster than Snowflake.”
“PostHog does everything Hotjar does plus product analytics. Consolidating tools is smarter than paying for both.”
“The shift from cloud warehouses to local-first analytics is real. DuckDB is leading that revolution.”
“Heatmaps and recordings reveal how users actually interact with designs. Essential for UX optimization.”
