In this detailed article by Mike Ritchie, he discusses the challenges of achieving real-time analytics and streaming data with DuckDB. While DuckDB is great for single-player analytics, it falls short when it comes to concurrent writers and readers. However, Mike presents a clever solution using Arrow Flight that bypasses DuckDB’s limitations. By setting up a Flight server and feeding it data with a Python script, users can achieve simultaneous data loading and querying that DuckDB cannot handle on its own. The code snippets provided demonstrate how to implement this solution effectively. If you’re looking for a quick and efficient way to handle real-time data processing, give Duck Takes Flight a try.
