Databend and the rise of Data warehouse as a code
TL:DR ; Databend is a new Data warehouse vendor, they have a paid Cloud service for Enterprise workload, but offer a full DWH engine as a Python Package, you can download a notebook that uses Cloudflare R2 as a remote storage
DWH as a code was first coined by the famous TJ the idea is very simple, you just write a python script to process data interactively from a remote storage, basically in the simplest use case, you don’t necessarily needs a middle man, sorry I meant a DWH, you run an Engine like DuckDB or Polars, and you get your results, Databend push this concept even further with the native support of a custom built lakehouse table format and support for disk cache and even result cache, yes in a notebook, who would have thought that !!!!
Databend architecture is a typical Modern cloud data warehouse, contrary to something like Snowflake, everything is open source
