\u201cAs nearly every organization, large and small, strives to figure out how to get value out of their data, scale becomes much less interesting than making it easy to derive insights. While today is a momentous day for our company, it is just a first flap of our wings on this journey,\u201d said MotherDuck CEO Tigani. \u201cWe\u2019re confident that the combined innovation between MotherDuck<\/span>\u2019s platform and DuckDB Labs\u2019s database will be a critical piece of how the modern data stack evolves over the next few years. Ultimately, we\u2019re proud to be able to deliver on our vision to bring the power of DuckDB to more people. And of course to make analytics ducking awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n

MotherDuck is obviously treading a well-worn path here. Launching a SaaS-based version of an open source project is, after all, the current default to monetize these tools. The company is launching its platform at the right time, though. Even companies that aren\u2019t focusing their data strategies on AI are increasingly aware of the value of operationalizing their data, and while many of the existing tools focus on big data use cases, DuckDB \u2014 and MotherDuck\u2019s serverless offering \u2014 also cater to small and medium businesses.<\/p>\n

The MotherDuck team stresses that this new offering also makes it easier for users whose data is already in the cloud to move to DuckDB.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
