AWS has added native DuckDB support to Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow, allowing customers to run data quality checks, summaries and transformations against supported sources, including Amazon S3. DuckDB is an embedded database for analytical queries.

The database comes installed and configured for AWS connections in provisioned environments running Airflow 3.3.1. Customers must update their environments and grant execution roles access to their data stores. The feature is available in every AWS Region offering the service.
