MotherDuck

This is lining up to be an amazing crew of speakers across the Data + AI stack, with everyone focused on efficiently working with data (making big data *feel* small). Early bird sales end in a week, so register today for 2 days in SF: one day of workshops followed by a day of talks with industry luminaries like Benn Stancil, Adi Polak, George Fraser, Holden Karau, Joe Reis, Shelby Heinecke, PhD, Tristan Handy, Barry McCardel, Ravin Kumar, Jordan Tigani, Sam Alexander, Scott Haines, Sahil Gupta

Excited to see all this great work that Vikram and the Foursquare team are doing around GIS and DuckDB. 🗺️ 🦆

Yes, early bird is about to close for our Small Data SF conference, but we still want to give a shout out about this other fall event. Join us at the Modern Data Infra conference hosted by our friends at Dragonfly.

Last year we hosted our first Small Data SF conference with ~250 people in attendance to talk about how we can be more efficient with data and AI infrastructure and applications. It was the culmination of our ideas for the data industry two years into building MotherDuck. We had a stellar lineup of talks, workshops and attendees. The response was overwhelming, with one attendee saying "the lineup was unbeatable, the content was razor-sharp, and the people were next-level inspiring" and another saying "one of the most interesting conferences I've ever been to." As we prepare to host our second Small Data SF this November 4th and 5th, I want to share a video recap of how it felt to be at the event. This year will be even better, with a stronger focus on workshops and an all-star speaker lineup. Early bird pricing ends Monday August 4th for those interested in joining us! Link in 🧵

We're always delighted to hear great things from customers using our product, and doubly excited when those customers are using it to do good in the world. Thanks to Dave for sharing his thoughts on how DoSomething replaced Postgres with MotherDuck for analytics and empowered their whole company with self-serve analytics while dramatically reducing costs. We're looking forward to Sahil speaking at Small Data SF in November!

By combining 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝗤𝗟 + 𝗖𝗺𝗱 𝗞, you get write your SQL with natural language and get feedback, instantly. The first time I saw the demo was honestly amazing!! 🤯🤯 You can see embedded here or head over to MotherDuck to check it out yourself.

Trunkrs orchestrates a network of idle vehicles to create a same-day delivery network for perishable goods. Migrating from Redshift to MotherDuck (in concert with Looker, Dagster Labs and dbt) they achieved: ⚡ Faster decision-making - Morning performance meetings transformed from sluggish query experiences to dynamic problem-solving sessions, enabling teams to drill deeper into issues and identify root causes more quickly 🔄 Improved operational efficiency - Faster query response times created a virtuous cycle where quicker data access led to deeper analysis, better problem identification, and fewer repeated mistakes day-to-day 🛠️ Reduced infrastructure overhead - Eliminated the constant optimization work required with Redshift while aligning with their serverless engineering philosophy, allowing data engineers to focus on insights rather than database tuning 📊 Significant data migration progress - Successfully migrated approximately 30% of their 2TB data warehouse with plans for additional cost savings as migration completes Full story: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/d5nwPgeM
