Unlock high-speed data apps with the MotherDuck Wasm SDK, reducing your cloud computing costs and improving latency by running queries in your web browser. 1.5 tier architecture.
Transcript
0:00so you've built a data app and your users are accessing their data from their dashboard but it's so slow well it doesn't have to be like that some architectures enables data apps to be be cheaper faster and stronger mod du can make your slow boring dashboard into instant analytics but that's not the only thing it also reduce your cloud computing gust so how
0:26is that magic happening well in a classic 3ti architecture your client a laptop would only be a light client sending commands to compute things on the cloud but because duct DB is an eded analytical database it can run anywhere including a web browser now the client is also running part of the databas and once the data is
0:52moved to the local context most user interaction won't require any communication with the cloud resulting inan lower latency and quicker performance for the user we call this the one and a half tier architecture because it combine the clients one here that know has also part of the database check out our documentation to experience our live demo and learn how

Zero-Latency Analytics in Your Application with Dives
BI tools were never built to be app interfaces — they're rigid, clunky, and add complexity to your user experience. Dives offer a different approach: interactive data apps you create with natural language that can be embedded directly into your applications. In this session, Alex Monahan walks through how to build a Dive and embed it in your app, with help from AI agents. You'll learn how to create interactive visualizations with natural language queries, embed Dives into your app with a secure sandbox, set up the auth flow so your users get read-only access without exposing credentials, and choose between server-side and dual execution with DuckDB-Wasm. Whether you're building customer-facing analytics or internal tools, this webinar shows you the full workflow from query to production-ready embed. See how Claude Code + Dives can get you from zero to a working data app fast.
