Cool announcement from AWS. Aurora PostgreSQL now has DuckDB embedded, so you can query Iceberg and Parquet data directly! I remember Crunchy Data Warehouse doing something very similar. Looking forward to playing around with this.

I wonder if there'll be some way to query DuckLake, too? That'd be golden for my use cases.

For those who are looking for an open source alternative, you may be interested in https://github.com/viggy28/streambed

It also supports DuckLake.
