Description

I've had great success using duckdb to speed up R shiny applications, and it would be great to have an example which showed off that integration on the Python side. Some ideas might be:

  • An ETL job which sends data to an on-disk duckdb instance which is colocated with the Shiny app
  • A Shiny app which uses duckdb to explore a large set of parquet files hosted on S3
  • An app which makes blends SQLite and duckdb to make use of multiple writes and columnar reads

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the existing Python Shiny examples and decide which proposed DuckDB integration—ETL with an on-disk database, Parquet files on S3, or SQLite and DuckDB—is in scope. Done means a documented demo application that shows the selected integration clearly.
