DuckLake is a next generation data lakehouse and open table format. It is significantly simpler and faster than Apache Iceberg or Delta Lake because it uses a SQL database for storing the catalog and metadata. This post covers an architecture deep dive with a detailed Q&A section. DuckLake consists of 3 components: storage, catalog, and compute. Each can be scaled independently, hosted locally with ease, and deployed to the cloud for production. MotherDuck offers managed DuckLake lakehouses for additional simplicity and performance.
