2023/07/17 - 3 min read
BYHey, friend 👋
It’s Marcos again, aka “DuckDB News Reporter” with another issue of “This Month in the DuckDB Ecosystem for July 2023.
Another month, another incredible time for the DuckDB ecosystem, especially after an incredible DuckCon 2023 SF. So many great tutorials, videos, resources, and even an interesting approach in the eternal comparison between DuckDB and ClickHouse.
As always we share here, this is a two-way conversation: if you have any feedback on this newsletter, feel free to send us an email to duckdbnews@motherduck.com.
