Today, we're happy to announce Cube's integrations with DuckDB, an extremely potent in-process SQL OLAP database management system, and MotherDuck, a cloud service providing hybrid execution for DuckDB, allowing users to easily access semi-structured data without intermediary tools. With this integration, Cube users can now connect their semantic layer directly to DuckDB, enabling fast query performance on local files and remote storage through hybrid execution with MotherDuck. This update enables users to share insights across the organization in a single step, moving from local analysis to governed metrics in seconds. The integration is available in both Cube Core and Cube Cloud, and the company invites users to join their Slack community to share thoughts and opinions on this update.
