Community metrics have surged: 8M+ monthly unique visitors to duckdb.org, 2 PB in extension download traffic, and 50M+ monthly PyPI downloads. The team also hosted multiple meetups and DuckCon #7. Notable community highlights include streaming analytics use cases, graph query support via SQL/PGQ, Iceberg-in-browser capabilities, C# extension development, and Spotify's production use of DuckDB. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

DuckLake 1.0 is a production-ready standard released by the DuckDB team for using SQL as a lakehouse format. It was published alongside other recent DuckDB ecosystem developments, including DuckDB 1.4.0 (the first long-term support release), DuckDB 1.5.0, and the new Quack remote protocol for multi-writer client-server setups. _Track lakehouse format decisions like DuckLake 1.0 alongside other database news on daily.dev._ ### What is the Quack remote protocol in DuckDB? The Quack remote protocol is a DuckDB feature that lets you run DuckDB in a client-server setup with multiple concurrent writers, allowing separate DuckDB instances to communicate with each other. It was released as part of the ecosystem's growth following DuckDB 1.4.0 and 1.5.0. _Developers evaluating multi-writer database setups can follow protocol updates like this on daily.dev._ ### When will DuckDB v2.0 be released and what new feature is planned? DuckDB v2.0 is scheduled for release in fall 2026 and will support asynchronous reads of Parquet and CSV files, a feature detailed by Pedro Holanda in a preview of the asynchronous I/O implementation. This follows the 1.4.0 long-term support release and 1.5.0 release that preceded it. _Keep tabs on upcoming DuckDB releases like v2.0's async I/O support via daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [DuckDB Ecosystem: November 2025](https://daily.dev/posts/duckdb-ecosystem-november-2025-rqofhhubf) · MotherDuck · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Announcing DuckDB 1.5.0](https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-duckdb-1-5-0-3oljixkez) · DuckDB · 54 upvotes · 1 comments - [DuckDB Ecosystem Newsletter : June 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/duckdb-ecosystem-newsletter-june-2026-nnbadzzs6) · MotherDuck · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [DuckDB Quack: Client/Server Protocol over HTTP for Multi-User Analytics](https://daily.dev/posts/duckdb-quack-client-server-protocol-over-http-for-multi-user-analytics-kclxrezzv) · InfoQ · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#open-source](https://daily.dev/tags/open-source), [#backend](https://daily.dev/tags/backend), [#sql](https://daily.dev/tags/sql), [#data-analysis](https://daily.dev/tags/data-analysis), [#duckdb](https://daily.dev/tags/duckdb) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/thank-you-for-40-000-stars-on-github-duckdb-fv47kakd6) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Thank You for 40 000 Stars on GitHub – DuckDB","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/thank-you-for-40-000-stars-on-github-duckdb-fv47kakd6","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/thank-you-for-40-000-stars-on-github-duckdb-fv47kakd6"},"datePublished":"2026-08-05T11:33:33.151Z","dateModified":"2026-09-13T20:19:57.544Z","description":"DuckDB has reached 40,000 GitHub stars.
