Hey @kiwicopple great to hear your interest in pg_duckdb, but it was odd to hear you say you'll be taking it over. The project is owned by the DuckDB Foundation; MotherDuck has been driving it for the last year. We launched 1.0 in sept and 1.1 in dec. We welcome your help though!

i've been waiting a while to announce this one:

@JoeSciarrino is joining Supabase

He previous co-founded Hydra and helped to develop pg_duckdb, which is powered by DuckDB

Joe will oversee our Open Warehouse Architecture initiative and help push our Postgres + Analytics roadmap forward.

All of the Hydra code will stay open source. We'll take over maintenance of pg_duckdb and work in the open as we develop the Open Warehouse Architecture and the broader Postgres + Analytics vision.

Great to hear your interest in pg_duckdb, but we want to clarify that no one is taking over the project. For the last year, MotherDuck has been driving it on our own; we launched version 1.0 in sept and 1.1 in dec (with community help). We look forward to your contributions.

If you want answers, maybe you should just talk to your duck: youtube.com/watch?v=f0DDhK…

I've been unreasonably astonished how good the results are from using Claude + the MotherDuck Remote MCP server. I find myself asking questions rather than writing SQL, which I did not expect to happen for a long while yet.

MotherDuck CEO @jrdntgn considers why these haven't been enough, and shares a few "holy duck" moments from the MotherDuck MCP server we released today.

I'm super excited about this launch... it solves one of the scalability gaps we had in MotherDuck, which was "what happens when I put up a dashboard that gets hammered?" motherduck.com/blog/read-scal…

motherduck.com Introducing Read Scaling | MotherDuck Read Scaling is now in preview! Read Scaling improves DuckDB SQL query performance by scaling out to multiple DuckDB instances, known as Read Scaling replicas. It is useful to speed up BI dashboards...
