YES! "Duck posting" has become an internet meme for praising DuckDB on Twitter. Nearly every quack using DuckDB has done it once or twice. But, why all the fuss? With advances in CPUs, memory, SSDs, and the software that enables it all, our personal machines are powerful beasts relegated to handling a few Chrome tabs and sitting 90% idle. As data engineers and data analysts, this seems like a waste that's not only expensive, but also impacting the environment.

In this session, you will see how DuckDB brings SQL analytics capabilities to a 2MB standalone executable on your laptop that only recently required a large cluster. This session will explain the architecture of DuckDB that enables high performance analytics on a laptop: great query optimization, vectorized execution, continuous improvements in compression and more. We will show its capabilities using live demos, from the pandas library to WASM, to the command-line. We'll demonstrate performance on large datasets, and talk about how we're exploring using the laptop to augment cloud analytics workloads.
