DuckLabs宣布将加入亚马逊云服务(AWS),预计于2026年9月初生效。团队将继续留在阿姆斯特丹,专注于DuckDB、DuckLake、Quack等开源项目的开发。加入AWS后,DuckLabs将获得更多资源和更广的覆盖范围,以推动技术发展,同时确保DuckDB等核心项目保持MIT许可证下的开源状态,并由非营利组织DuckDB基金会继续管理。

回顾过去五年,DuckLabs从一个小型初创团队成长为拥有30多名成员的团队,DuckDB的日下载量已超过100万次。然而,随着项目增长,DuckLabs意识到现有模式可能限制其发展,因此选择与AWS合作,以扩大技术影响力并服务更广泛的用户群体。

AWS承诺长期支持DuckDB及其社区的发展。未来,DuckDB基金会将设立技术顾问委员会,并计划开放扩展栈,允许其他开发者签名的扩展在DuckDB中运行。DuckLabs团队将继续专注于技术工作,同时借助AWS的规模和基础设施,推动Duck Stack的进一步普及。
