🚀🎉 BoilStream v0.7.5 out!

Power BI now works with all data types!
See the demo_database.sql test suite on GitHub.

NOTE: Power BI uses old version of npgsql, so we had to downgrade some temporal (TEXT) and list types (JSON). But only for Power BI clients.

🦆 How fast can @DuckDB ingest data? 🚄

It's much more than I thought. You can read about it on BoilStream website and Documentation.

🚀 We have new BoilStream release which lands data on local DuckDB db AND on S3 Parquet at the same time.

💡 You can now have multiple storage backends with BoilStream, like S3 and Filesystem. Or two different S3 buckets, or Minio S3 and AWS S3, or..

🚀 Skip the Pipeline. Stream to Gold. 🏆

You can write CREATE VIEW from DuckDB client against our Stream Processor server (DuckDB Airport extension) and it forks the base topic into derived topic(s) for you while it runs zero-copy SQL over the incoming data stream in real-time.

🚀 Launching boilstream.com - Making streaming data dead simple. Directly from DuckDB into Parquet files on S3 from thousands of concurrent writers and GBs/s with single node. 🔥

See DEMO on the web page.

The total time to perform a cold run of the TPC-H queries on SF300 shows an almost 3× speedup between DuckDB 1.0.0 and DuckDB 1.2.0. The benchmark was run on a MacBook Pro (M1 Max / 64 GB RAM).

We have implemented the basic data analytics requirement 😍. We can reliably consume Postgres CDC stream with ephemeral node, including DR without full resync needs. The system is transaction safe with Icebreg Table on S3 target and can even detect if Postgres was restored from a backup. Interested?

Have been running Claude Code (agent based) and like it a lot. You still need to keep control and verify direction and quality.

Zig is amazing as is DuckDB!!
Created for fun and as an example fixed column text file scanner extension for DuckDB (DanskeBank KTON file). By no means production proof and it actually misses couple of columns in the end. But this was less than an evening work.
