Google Sheets is a cloud-based spreadsheet program that allows users to create, edit, and share spreadsheets online. It is a free alternative to Microsoft Excel and can be accessed from any device with an internet connection. Google Sheets offers a range of features including formulas, charts, and conditional formatting, making it a powerful tool for data analysis and organization. Users can collaborate in real-time, making it easy to work on projects with others. Additionally, Google Sheets integrates with other Google apps such as Google Drive and Google Forms, making it a versatile tool for personal and professional use.
DuckDB is an in-process SQL OLAP database management system. It has strong support for SQL. DuckDB is borrowing the SQLite shell implementation. Each database is a single file on disk. It’s analogous to “ SQLite for analytical (OLAP) workloads” (direct comparison on the SQLite vs DuckDB paper here), whereas SQLite is for OLTP ones. But it can handle vast amounts of data locally. It’s the smaller, lighter version of Apache Druid and other OLAP technologies.

With Airbyte, creating data pipelines take minutes, and the data integration possibilities are endless. Airbyte supports the largest catalog of API tools, databases, and files, among other sources. Airbyte's connectors are open-source, so you can add any custom objects to the connector, or even build a new connector from scratch without any local dev environment or any data engineer within 10 minutes with the no-code connector builder.
We look forward to seeing you make use of it! We invite you to join the conversation on our community Slack Channel, or sign up for our newsletter. You should also check out other Airbyte tutorials, and Airbyte’s content hub!
