MotherDuck
The cloud data warehouse built for answers, in SQL or natural language.

MotherDuck is a serverless cloud data warehouse built on DuckDB, offering fast SQL analytics without infrastructure management. It features a Hypertenancy architecture that gives each user their own isolated DuckDB instance, enabling sub-second query latency at scale. It supports both internal data warehousing and customer-facing embedded analytics use cases.
MotherDuck provisions isolated DuckDB instances (Ducklings) per user with configurable compute sizes, connecting them to centralized data warehouse storage for low-latency queries.
