DuckLabs, the company behind the popular DuckDB analytics database, is being acquired by AWS in early September. The core open-source projects will remain free under the MIT license and governed by the nonprofit DuckDB Foundation, but the team gains AWS's infrastructure and reach to scale the technology further.
- DuckDB hits over 1 million downloads daily and the founders realized their bootstrapped model couldn't support the project's growth trajectory without becoming a bottleneck
- All core Duck Stack components (DuckDB, DuckLake, Quack) stay open-source under MIT license with the DuckDB Foundation maintaining stewardship
- AWS has committed long-term support and the DuckLabs team of 30+ people will remain together in Amsterdam, focusing on technical work rather than sales operations
