Embedded Reporting
DuckDB
- Latest Darling of the
Analytics world
- Brings Data to compute
- SQLLite for OLAP
workloads
- Small binary
- Lots of extensions
Why do we care!
- Infrastructure perspective
- Containerisation provides most versatile
compute
- Clustered environment can cause lots of
connections to backend
- Unless the data is in the container!
- Data in container fixes latency!
- Multiple instances ( separation of dev and
prod )
- CI/CD!
- Business User perspective
- Interface can be no code
- Blazingly fast rendering for curated data
- No Software Devs between Reporting
Analysts and Users (Dev’s enable Reporting
Analysts )
- Publishable Reports across multiple mediums
The Ugly
- Metabase DuckDB connector is in it’s infancy ( AND community maintained )
- Hand written DockerFile for the metabase container ( can’t use docker-compose
OOB)
- Duckdb 0.9 is the first version with aws credential chain support
- Without credential chain need to explicitly store AWS access keys rather than load from credential
store.
- For duckdb 0.9 support needed to hand compile jar connector
Next Steps
- Currently in evaluation as a reporting tool by select users - Analyst perspective
- Purchase to set up CI/CD workflows
- Experiment with embedding - including server side rendering into Redeye!
- Also Experiment with interactive embedding which is enterprise licence only
