GizmoSQL: DuckDB, Anywhere You Want It
DuckDB is great in-process, but real workloads eventually need a server — shared state, remote clients, concurrent AI agents. GizmoSQL is that server: a lightweight, statically compiled SQL engine that wraps DuckDB with Apache Arrow Flight SQL, delivering 1 TB TPC-H in under two minutes for pennies, at ~90% lower cost than traditional cloud warehouses.
In this 15–20 minute session, I'll cover what GizmoSQL is, the breadth of where it runs — on-prem, in your VPC, on Kubernetes, even on an iPhone — and finish with one focused live demo.
Add'l speakers coming soon....
May's edition is co-hosted by our friends at Greybeam!
Food, drinks, and some merch of course!
