About the project

DuckDB is an in-process analytical SQL database management system. It is designed for fast, reliable, portable data processing without a separate server.

Useful for
  • Run analytical SQL queries directly on CSV or Parquet files from Python or R.
  • Embed DuckDB in a C++ application for local data processing without an external server.
  • Use the DuckDB CLI for interactive exploration of datasets.

2.9 Steady Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 29, 2026, 05:11 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

075150August 1, 2026October 29, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-29 (UTC), 00:05–05:01: 42672 → 42677 stars (+5). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +30 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • Hacker News: “DuckDB 2.0.0 LTS “Cinnamon Teal”” — 463 points, 7 days ago.
  • About 19 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 327. +49% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
