Hannes Mühleisen announces official DuckDB support for Delta Lake and the Unity Catalog at the Data + AI Summit 2024. He positions DuckDB as filling the gap between Excel and Spark for last-mile data analysis. The Delta Lake integration leverages Databricks' delta kernel rather than building from scratch. He also announces DuckDB community extensions, allowing anyone to publish and share extensions easily.
