At MotherDuck, we want to help the community, the DuckDB Foundation, and DuckDB Labs build greater awareness and adoption of DuckDB, whether users are working locally or want a serverless always-on way to execute their SQL. We are a world-class team of engineers and leaders with experience working on databases and cloud services at AWS, Databricks, Elastic, Facebook, Firebolt, Google BigQuery, Neo4j, SingleStore, and more.

Django-MySQL extends Django’s built-in MySQL and MariaDB support their specific features not available on other databases. A new cache backend that makes use of MySQL’s upsert statement and does compression. Named locks for easy locking of e.g. external resources. Extra checks added to Django’s check framework to ensure your Django and MySQL configurations are optimal. Django-MySQL comes with a number of extensions to QuerySet that can be installed in a number of ways - e.g. adding the QuerySetMixin to your existing QuerySet subclass.
