Businesses are seeking more efficient ways to analyze and leverage data for competitive advantage. Here are 10 of the coolest business analytics tools that can help.
MotherDuck
Startup MotherDuck is developing a serverless data analytics system built around DuckDB, an open-source, in-process SQL OLAP database management system.
As an in-process database, according to the company, DuckDB is a storage and compute engine that developers, data scientists and data analysts can use to perform rapid data analytics—using standard SQL—on data wherever it resides. Designed as an analytics database, DuckDB is optimized for read operations, stores data in a compressed columnar format, performs updates in a transactional ACID-compliant fashion, and provides the best performance for large-scale aggregations.
The goal of the MotherDuck analytics software is to allow users to leverage the power of any CPU—even on their laptop computer—to analyze data that resides on their own computer, in a corporate database or in the cloud.
