[Webinar] Getting Started with MotherDuck

➡️ Follow Us LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/company/motherduck X/Twitter : https://twitter.com/motherduck Blog: https://motherduck.com/blog/ -------------------------------------- Discover how MotherDuck makes data analytics fun, frictionless, and "ducking awesome" in this getting started guide, celebrating our General Availability launch! We introduce MotherDuck as a serverless, collaborative, and simple cloud data warehouse that extends the power of the open-source DuckDB. Built for both classic data teams and app developers creating data-centric experiences, we'll show you why "Easy Data" is the new "Big Data" and how our architecture leverages modern hardware for unmatched efficiency. Dive into a live demo showcasing the core of the MotherDuck platform. See how we query 18 million rows of rideshare data in seconds and use the Column Explorer for rapid, follow-up analysis. This highlights our unique "dual execution" model, which intelligently uses both your local machine's compute power and the cloud for lightning-fast, low-latency data exploration. We also explore the ergonomic and powerful DuckDB SQL dialect and demonstrate Fixit, our AI-powered SQL fixer that helps you correct syntax errors on the fly, making your data workflow smoother. Learn how MotherDuck seamlessly integrates into the "Modern Duck Stack." We demonstrate connecting to popular BI tools like Tableau for live data visualization, a critical workflow for data analysts. For developers and data engineers, we walk through programmatic access from scratch using Python. See just how easy it is to `pip install duckdb`, connect to your MotherDuck instance, and run hybrid queries that join local data files (like CSVs or Parquet) with massive datasets stored in the cloud or in S3, all within a single SQL query. Finally, we explore advanced capabilities with MotherDuck WASM (WebAssembly), showing how you can build truly interactive, 60fps data apps and visualizations that run directly in the browser on millions of rows. These examples showcase the future of data experiences, powered by a combination of local and cloud compute.
