Comment on Preview: Amazon S3 Tables and Lakehouse in DuckDB

Comments

This is a great example of how simplicity often wins in practice. Too many systems overcomplicate storage and retrieval, assuming every use case needs full indexing or ultra-low latency. In reality, for many workloads, treating S3 like a raw table and letting the engine handle the heavy lifting makes a lot of sense. Curious to see how it performs under high concurrency—any benchmarks on that yet?
