I got similar feedback for my "DuckDB in Action" book… People had been very surprised what is possible these days.

We took Canada’s Spatial Access Measures dataset (big, clunky CSVs) → turned it into a single GeoParquet file.
Add DuckDB-WASM + deck.gl & you get
- instant queries
- smooth maps
- no backend
Public data, but actually usable.

Wow, what a presentation by @hannes.muehleisen.org about the history of data architecture with its changes in architecture from 1985 to 2025 with DuckDB and in general.
I took a lot of notes, some of which are illustrated below in my current Obsidian Vault.

Harvard Law Library has created a brilliant website for their Data.gov archive—there's a static S3-style data store, and the front-end is a DuckDB-Wasm in-browser database using HTTP range requests to retrieve the needed data. In short, there's...no website? Kind of?
