The BI world is honestly kind of weird.

You have people who are at the intersection of "understands databases, the relational model, query optimization etc. at the level of a very senior SWE" ∩ "needs to be told how git works in the year of our lord 2023".



Don't forget the person who thinks they really have "big data" and needs all this massive infrastructure. Eventually, one discovers it's a few gigs of CSV files that fits in RAM on a laptop.


I feel like duckdb has been making waves here helping people realize you don’t need snowflake/bigquery/etc for all ypur datasets, but you can still get the nice feature set of those systems


What is duckdb


Embedded column store database. SQLite but much much faster for aggregations.
