DuckDB on a Mac
In-process OLAP database — the SQLite of analytics · Analytics Databases
DuckDB is an embedded analytical database: a single-file, in-process engine (like SQLite, but columnar and vectorized) that queries CSV/Parquet/JSON files, pandas and Polars DataFrames, and even remote S3 data with full SQL — no server to run or administer. brew install duckdb, then duckdb mydb.duckdb for a shell, or duckdb -ui for the bundled local web UI (:4213). The default choice for local analytics before workloads justify a ClickHouse server.
