Like every other kind of technology, when it comes to databases there's no one-size-fits-all solution that's going to be the best thing for the job every time. That's what drives innovation and new solutions. It's ultimately also the story behind DuckDB, an open source relational database specifically designed for the demands of online analytical processing (OLAP), and particularly useful for data analysts, scientists and engineers.
To get a deeper understanding of DuckDB and how the product has developed, on this episode of the Technology Podcast hosts Ken Mugrage and Lilly Ryan are joined by Thoughtworker Ned Letcher and Thoughtworks alumnus Simon Aubury. Ned and Simon explain the thinking behind DuckDB, the design decisions made by the project and how its being used by data practitioners in the wild.
