AWS and DuckLabs: Building the future of analytics together
Today we are announcing that Amazon has signed a definitive agreement to acquire DuckLabs, the Amsterdam-based company behind the open-source analytical database DuckDB. We expect the transaction to close shortly, subject to customary closing conditions. Hannes Mühleisen and Mark Raasveldt, who created DuckDB and co-founded DuckLabs, will continue leading the team and the open-source project’s technical direction as part of AWS. The DuckDB open-source project will also continue to be driven by the DuckLabs team, remain open source under the independent Foundation (the non-profit that oversees DuckDB), and available under the MIT license as it does today.
