yeah, sure, those 5-10 different API calls would surely be a huge toll to refactor... I'd rather run an additional service to reimplement the S3 API mapping to my local drive /s

I'm 100% aware of how S3 works. I was questioning why the S3 API is needed when the service is using local storage.

I don't get it, if it's running on the same (mentioning "local") machine, why does it even need the S3 API? Could just be plain IO on the local drive(s)

Impressive, congrats! I‘m building https://sql-workbench.com which is similar, but focussed on DuckDB WASM instead of SQLite… Love that you offer different databases.

Literally the first dozen search results if you google for "lakehouse" are about data lakehouses: https://www.google.com/search?q=lakehouse

This is a well-known term for everyone working with larger datasets...

New comment by tobilg in "My Browser WASM't Prepared for This. Using DuckDB, Apache Arrow and Web Workers"

tobilg — Sun, 06 Apr 2025 19:28:11 +0000

IMO that’s not really possible because of the size limits of Cloudflare Workers. Neither the WASM nor the Node version are small enough.

I‘m running it on AWS Lambda functions with some success.

Not sure why the comparisons were made with pretty outdated versions to be honest.

I‘m using a (older) v1.29.1 dev version with https://sql-workbench.com w/o any bigger issues.

Have a look at https://sql-workbench.com eventually. It runs DuckDB WASM in the browser, and with Perspective, which is used for data visualization, you can also visualize timeseries.

You can either drag & drop data, or use remote data sources via https
