I will be speaking at Ubuntu Summit 26.04 on Thursday about DuckDB.
My presentation will cover DuckDB at three different deployment models: as a CLI tool, as a portable database, and as a server.
The event is streamed but requires registration – see ubuntu.com/summit
I've been working on organizing our next DuckCon for the past three months. The program is finally out and I think we have a really strong lineup, featuring speakers from ETH Zürich, Spotify, MariaDB, the Merck Group, Snowflake, Foursquare, and more. Join us in Amsterdam on June 24!
Today is your last chance to submit a talk proposal to DuckCon #7. The submission form is lightweight, so it shouldn't take long. If you're in doubt whether your talk idea fits, drop us a DM and we are happy to discuss it further!
What's new in DuckDB and how does DuckDB fit into old shell scripts? These are topics that our DevRel Gábor covered at Ubuntu Summit 2026. His talk explained three aspects of DuckDB: a command-line tool, a portable database, and a client-server database.

I am a big fan of Cloudflare R2, an object storage that provides egress-free downloads.
