DuckDB reports over 1 million installs/day and 160 million extension installs/month, and DuckLake reaches DuckLake 1.0 in one year alongside a new Quack client-server protocol that already has external clients. Company renames to DuckLabs. Roadmap toward DuckDB 2.0 adds a fast schema-aware variant type, SQL triggers, asynchronous IO for faster S3/Parquet reads, partition-aware planning, a stable C extension API (C++ V2), and a replacement SQL parser — all aimed at running DuckDB as a multi-tenant server.
