The DuckLake Lakehouse: From Getting Started to Going Fast

​DuckLake combines the power of an open lakehouse format with the simplicity you'd expect from a database - no sprawling metadata files, no catalog servers to manage, no "big data tax." On MotherDuck, you can spin up a fully managed DuckLake in a single SQL statement and start querying petabyte-scale data in minutes, not weeks.

But simplicity doesn't mean there's nothing to tune. Like any powerful technology, DuckLake rewards thoughtful configuration.

In this webinar, we'll start with why DuckLake is such a compelling choice:

• ​Database-backed metadata that eliminates the small files problem

• ​ACID transactions across multiple tables

• ​Hidden partition pruning

• ​Data inlining for small datasets

• ​An architecture that helps you fall into the pit of success.

​Then we'll roll up our sleeves and walk through the settings and strategies for tuning your lakehouse that separate a good DuckLake deployment from a great one.
