MotherDuck overview
MotherDuck is a cloud data warehouse and SQL analytics backend for building data apps.
MotherDuck is powered by DuckDB, a free and open source in-process OLAP database developed and maintained by the DuckDB community and DuckDB Labs. MotherDuck is a separate organization closely partnering with DuckDB Labs to build a DuckDB-based cloud analytics service.
As a DuckDB user, you can connect to MotherDuck to supercharge your local DuckDB experience with cloud-based manageability, persistence, scale, sharing, and productivity tools. MotherDuck runs on vanilla DuckDB, so you can use your existing DuckDB skills and tools to connect to MotherDuck.
- Use serverless DuckDB in the cloud to store data and execute DuckDB SQL
- Load data into MotherDuck from your personal computer, https, or cloud storage (e.g. Amazon S3 or Azure Cloud Storage)
- Securely save cloud storage credentials in MotherDuck
- Sharing databases with your teammates
- Check out our other integrations (Golang, R, etc.), or use any existing DuckDB integration and connect through

MotherDuck currently supports DuckDB 1.1.3 and it is compatible with any client version 0.10.2 through 1.1.3
