Sovereign by architecture, not by policy.

The data plane runs in your environment, not ours. We run the control plane so you don't have to. Your records, credentials, and keys stay inside your environment; the control plane receives configuration and job metadata only.

DuckDB provides access to a wide range of data types, including: Structured data (organized into tables with defined columns and data types, such as CSV, JSON, and Avro files); Semi-structured data (some structure, but not necessarily a fixed schema, such as XML and JSON files); Unstructured data (no predefined structure, such as text, images, and videos); Time-series data (organized by time, such as stock prices, weather data, and sensor readings); Geospatial data (related to geographic locations, such as maps, GPS coordinates, and spatial databases); Machine learning data (used to train machine learning models, such as labeled datasets and feature vectors); and Streaming data (generated in real-time, such as social media feeds, IoT sensor data, and log files). Overall, DuckDB's API provides access to a wide range of data types, making it a powerful tool for data analysis and machine learning.

This can be done by building a data pipeline manually, usually a Python script (you can leverage a tool such as Apache Airflow for this). This process can take more than a full week of development. Or it can be done in minutes on Airbyte in three easy steps: 1. Set up DuckDB as a source connector (using Auth, or usually an API key). 2. Choose a destination (more than 50 available destination databases, data warehouses or lakes) to sync data to and set it up as a destination connector. 3. Define which data you want to transfer from DuckDB and how frequently.

The most prominent ETL tools to transfer data to include: Airbyte, Fivetran, StitchData, Matillion, Talend Data Integration. These tools help in extracting data from various sources (APIs, databases, and more), transforming it efficiently, and loading it into and other databases, data warehouses and data lakes, enhancing data management capabilities.
