Reviewer scorecard
“Query Parquet files, CSVs, and Postgres directly with SQL. No ETL needed. The SQLite of analytics.”
“Self-hostable, open source, and genuinely all-in-one. Replaces Amplitude + LaunchDarkly + Hotjar at a fraction of the cost.”
“Most analytics don't need a data warehouse. DuckDB on your laptop handles billions of rows faster than Snowflake.”
“The free tier is absurdly generous. Open source means you can audit exactly what data goes where.”
“The shift from cloud warehouses to local-first analytics is real. DuckDB is leading that revolution.”
“PostHog is the open-source Amplitude. The all-in-one approach reduces tool sprawl and keeps data unified.”
