In this blog post we will walk through building an ELT pipeline using CloudQuery and DuckDB locally and then how to run the same configuration and pipeline with CloudQuery Cloud and MotherDuck (DuckDB Cloud version). One cool thing about CloudQuery and DuckDB is that both of them are very easy to run locally which makes it easy to develop and debug before running in the cloud which can save time on feedback loops and surging cloud costs of compute, data, and egress - especially for development purposes.

There is a new wave of tools that are built specifically for embedded analytics solutions, so we wrote a quick blog about how some of these tools fit together and why they are such great choices. In this article, we specifically explore the cost vs value advantages of the MotherDuck / Cube / React (MDCuRe) stack for building data products.

In just about every business, you get to a point with analytics where you have the need for speed. Someone, or some group needs to make decisions while they’re doing their job and they either need or want some combination of “real-time” data with second-level latency, and “real-time” analytics with sub-second query performance.

2023/12/06 - Jan from GoodData
You have seen many announcements regarding integrations with DuckDB/MotherDuck in the past months. I am quite conservative, so I am not the first to jump on the hype train. I want to be sure about new technology before publicly announcing a new integration. Thanks to my conservatism, I made time to properly evaluate MotherDuck. Now I can thoroughly inform you whether or not MotherDuck is producktion-ready (so we can use it in GoodData and recommend it to our customers). Moreover, my article shows you all the important differences between DuckDB/MotherDuck and other databases, including results from the first iteration of performance tests. Let’s start!

Running a full-fledged analytical database inside the client opens up new ways of executing your query; you can run parts of your query locally and part remotely. Once you can split the query plan into two pieces, the same mechanism works with N stages, which can be in series or a tree.
