DuckDB just released Quack: a client/server protocol over HTTP.

Any DuckDB can serve (quack_serve()), any DuckDB can attach to it. DuckDB-Wasm included since it's plain HTTP on port 9494.

Some fun stuff :

- A browser tab talking directly to a DuckDB server somewhere on the internet

- Local-first apps with a remote target that speaks the exact same dialect

- Notebook-to-notebook query forwarding Curious what people will build with this.

We've got a few ideas brewing at MotherDuck too :)

And while we're at it, can we finally retire the "DuckDB has no multi-writer support" take? There are plenty of options out there now, just depends how you want to slice and dice.
