Amazon Web Services said it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Amsterdam-based DuckLabs, the company behind DuckDB, an open-source analytical database. AWS said DuckDB will remain open source under its independent foundation and MIT license, while it plans over time to combine the database's query speed with services including S3, Redshift and Athena. DuckLabs' co-founders will continue leading its technical direction.
