What customers say about MotherDuck

Testimonials published on MotherDuck's own website, selected by the vendor. These are not independent reviews.

“We’re scaling rapidly, but our Postgres cluster kept falling over on analytical workloads, even after throwing hardware at it. With AI labs and Fortune 100 customers depending on us, that wasn’t an option. Migrating to MotherDuck made our heaviest queries 30x faster, and it is now the source-of-truth for our core analytical workloads.” Source
“Moving to MotherDuck, a billed by-the-second cloud offering is a no-brainer for us, considering the elegance and efficiency of a single node system compared to traditional OLAP solutions.” Source
“MotherDuck is insanely performant, and there’s no infrastructure to manage. The cost of experimentation is incredibly low — which means we can afford to ask more questions and build more features, faster.” Source
