DuckDB is single player and single node.

MotherDuck lets you run a fleet of DuckDB instances as a managed cloud service.


Thanks for sharing. We haven't cracked the code on doing this locally, but we are working on similar features and functionality in MotherDuck, like the prompt () and embedding () functions. More to come; we're definitely thinking about it!


Our notebook form factor is unique compared to other notebook environments - we don't serialize the results.

We also have some added bonuses for query profiling and data exploration like the Column Explorer.

The easiest way to give it a whirl is to type 'duckdb -ui' in the CLI.

Let us know if you have any other questions


Just wondering about reactivity, imports, exports, plain file storage? I don't expect it to be there on a first release, but that's where my mind goes if I see a reference to the notebook form factor.


is it a jupyter or marimo style notebook or some third thing?
