Sounds like it means you don't have to wire up the RPC server yourself anymore? Just build a docker container that invokes this quack server command, expose it over the network and connect to it from remote clients using your own access controls?

Ducklake handles the metadata and storage, but a local duckdb instance connected to it still has to do the compute itself. This lets you federate access to the compute.

Fun for me, I just finished a big streaming implementation doing essentially the same thing in Go-gRPC with arrow table record batches. It was fun though.
