Comment on Show HN: DuckDB for Kafka Stream Processingparent

Comments

Is this to be used in an analytics application backend sort of scenario?

I am familiar with materialized views / dynamic tables from enterprise-grade cloud lake type offerings, but I've never quite understood where duckdb, though impressive, fits into everyones use case. I've toyed with it for personal things, it's very cool having a local instance of something akin to snowflake when it comes to processing and aggregating on Big Data™ but generally I don't see it used in operational settings. For application development people are generally tied to sqlite and postgres.

It all does seem really cool though, I guess I'm just not feeling creative enough to conjure up a stream-to-duckdb use case. Feel free to bombard me with cool ideas.
