🔗 DuckLabs to join AWS, projects to remain open source

DuckLabs has announced its upcoming partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS), set to take effect in early September. This union is aimed at leveraging AWS’s resources and reach, while ensuring that the open-source initiatives underpinning DuckDB, DuckLake, and Quack remain available under the MIT license. The DuckDB Foundation will continue to oversee these projects, preserving the spirit of community contribution.

With over one million downloads daily, DuckDB has proven to be a crucial tool for developers worldwide. The move to join AWS is seen as a necessary step to scale the technology further, enabling DuckLabs to focus on technical advancements without compromising on the open-source ethos that fueled its success. This collaboration promises even greater opportunities for both the technology and its global community of users, contributors, and advocates as they enter this new chapter together.
