Welcome to Query.Farm

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Query.Farm, a new company dedicated to advancing the DuckDB ecosystem. Our mission is to make DuckDB the go-to choice for modern data infrastructure by providing enterprise-grade extensions, managed services, and consulting expertise.

What We’re Building

Query.Farm focuses on three core areas:

1. DuckDB Extensions

We’ve developed over 20 specialized DuckDB extensions covering:

  • Data Connectors - PostgreSQL, MySQL, S3, Kafka, and REST APIs
  • Data Transformation - JSON, geospatial, time series, and text analytics
  • Analytics & ML - Machine learning models, statistics, and forecasting
  • Performance - Query caching, parallel processing, and compression
  • Developer Tools - Debugging, validation, and profiling
  • Data Quality - Profiling and deduplication

2. VGI — Vector Gateway Interface

Our protocol for extending DuckDB in any language. VGI is an Apache Arrow-based bridge that lets you write DuckDB functions in Python, TypeScript, Go, or C++ — and run them as remote workers attached to DuckDB at query time. No FFI. No compilation. No version locking against a specific DuckDB build.

VGI ships as three pieces: a DuckDB extension, a Python worker framework, and language SDKs for Python, TypeScript, Go, and C++.

3. Consulting & Support

Our team of data infrastructure experts helps companies:

  • Migrate to DuckDB from legacy data warehouses
  • Design scalable data architectures
  • Optimize query performance
  • Implement Data-as-a-Service solutions

Why DuckDB?

DuckDB represents a fundamental shift in how we think about data processing:

  • Embedded Analytics - Run complex queries in-process without external dependencies
  • Lightning Fast - Columnar storage and vectorized execution for incredible performance
  • SQL Standard - Familiar syntax with advanced analytical capabilities
  • Zero Configuration - No server setup or maintenance overhead
  • Open Source - MIT licensed with a vibrant community

Our Vision

We believe every company should have the power to build sophisticated data systems without the complexity and cost of traditional data warehouses. DuckDB makes this possible, and Query.Farm is here to accelerate that journey.
