| Can confirm: together with `dbt` and `rill` I'm able do to [this](https://github.com/idesis-gmbh/GitHubExperiments/blob/master...) on my laptop. |

| ▲ | steve_adams_86 3 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Whoa, nice! I could see this being useful to people I work with. Do you think it would be a good setup for people who are technical but not great software developers? People who use basic R and Python for ETL and analysis, mostly. | | |
| ▲ | goerch 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | I'm using DuckDB in another project (on my laptop) where `NetworkX` fails due to the memory limit of 32 GB. So yes, as soon as you are doing out of core work I'd assume the combination to be quite powerful. Knowledge in SQL would be a plus, though. |

| ▲ | esafak 2 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Why did you pick rill? | | |
| ▲ | goerch 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | It is a educational/R&D type project. We are more of backend developers and `rill` worked fine as a rapid visualization frontend with low learning curve for us. Edit: still realizing that I can't use markdown on HN... |

| I got introduced to it by Claude the other day as I was interrogating several GB of public csv files. Seemed magical as it out them all in parquet files and transformed what I needed into the normalized sqllite for my server. Coding agents seen quite comfortable with it! |

| ▲ | whalesalad 24 minutes ago | parent [-] | | claude + duckdb combo is legendary for doing quick analysis of huge datasets. every time i need to analyze a big ass csv (200mb+) or as you noted a parquet file or really anything columnar i'll tell claude, 'you have duckdb at your disposal for this' and within minutes it's all sorted (no pun intended) |

| I use it almost daily. Any time I benchmark changes or analyze logs, I collect the data I need as CSV and analyze it with duckdb. The flexibility and ease makes it so I find so much more interesting information. It's indispensable to me now |
