DuckLabs' team of more than 30, including co-founders Hannes Mühleisen and Mark Raasveldt, is expected to join AWS in early September. AWS plans to tie DuckDB into services such as S3, Redshift, Athena, EMR, Glue and SageMaker, and the DuckDB Foundation will add a technical advisory board and support signed third-party extensions.
