Messing around with boats and databases. Okta pays the bills. Sometimes data systems, sometimes security, sometimes ai/ml, sometimes a blend of it all.

Srsly though, it is going to be so hard to sell a standard/spec/system/whatever that is named this.

DuckLake is an integrated data lake and catalog format. DuckLake delivers advanced data lake features without traditional lakehouse complexity by using Parquet files and your SQL database. It's an open, standalone format from the DuckDB team.

ducklake.select is neat.

But I'd put it into prod tomorrow if it was called Drake.

Creating a Zero-Infrastructure Iceberg Data Lake in 5 Minutes Zero-Infrastructure Iceberg in 5 Minutes

I've been exploring how to do Iceberg with the fewest dependencies possible.

tl;dr -> @duckdb.org , @amazonwebservices.bsky.social S3 Tables, and a sprinkle of Python is awesome.
