 Market Challenges

The global instant shipping market has faced substantial challenges due to disruptions in the supply chain. One significant issue arose from the avoidance of high-risk areas, such as the Gulf of Aden and Bab al-Mandeb Strait, which led to a 41% decline in vessel traffic and a 47% drop in trade volumes. This trend continued into the first week of January 2024, with approximately 220 fewer vessels using this route compared to the same period in the previous year. The impact on containerized goods, which make up nearly half of the tonnage passing through the Suez Canal, and on oil and oil products transported from the Persian Gulf to Europe and the US, is expected to be far-reaching. Additionally, higher raw material costs, driven by shortages, contributed to a 11.1% increase in the US Producer Price Index (PPI) in the 12 months ending in May 2022. These disruptions led to inflation, complicating procurement for businesses and subduing demand, negatively affecting shipping volumes and profitability. Labor shortages and transportation issues, such as the US recording 4 million job resignations and 9.8 million new job openings in May 2023, further delayed production and deliveries, contributing to shipping delays. Political instability, like the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, exacerbated the supply chain crisis by causing resource shortages. These global supply chain disruptions are hindering the growth of the instant shipping market during the forecast period.Instant Shipping Market: Seizing Opportunities Amidst Challenges The Instant Shipping Market is experiencing rapid growth, driven by smartphone adoption and e-commerce boom. Prominent players like Supermercato24 dominate the scene, offering same-day delivery for grocery and perishable commodities.

Collaboration with Hydra and DuckDB Labs can provide dramatic performance improvements for analytical queries in PostgreSQL

SEATTLE, Oct. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — MotherDuck, in collaboration with Hydra and DuckDB Labs, today announced the beta release of pg_duckdb, a PostgreSQL extension that integrates DuckDB’s analytics engine directly into PostgreSQL. This extension enables organizations to run rapid analytical queries alongside traditional transactional workloads without changing their existing PostgreSQL infrastructure, delivering up to 1500x performance improvements for certain analytical queries and a more realistic 10x improvement for many other queries.

The pg_duckdb extension addresses a critical challenge faced by PostgreSQL users who need to perform analytics on their transactional data. By bringing DuckDB’s analytical capabilities directly into PostgreSQL, organizations can now:

Execute complex analytical queries up to 1500x faster than native PostgreSQLQuery data directly from Data Lakes and Lakehouses, including AWS S3Seamlessly work with columnar file formats like Parquet and IcebergScale analytics workloads using MotherDuck’s cloud resources

“PostgreSQL excels at transactional workloads but wasn’t specifically designed for analytics,” said Jordan Tigani, CEO and Co-Founder of MotherDuck. “With pg_duckdb, we’re bringing DuckDB’s analytical prowess directly to PostgreSQL users, allowing them to dramatically improve query performance without changing how their data is stored or updated.”

Real-World Performance
Initial testing demonstrates remarkable performance improvements. Using the TPC-DS benchmark suite, a query that took 81.8 seconds in native PostgreSQL completed in just 52 milliseconds using pg_duckdb – a 1500x improvement. When scaled to larger datasets on production hardware, the same query showed even more dramatic results, reducing execution time from over 2 hours to approximately 400 milliseconds.

What’s Next
While pg_duckdb is currently in beta, the development team is actively working on additional features and improvements. Users can track upcoming developments and provide feedback through the project’s GitHub repository.

To start using pg_duckdb, users can access the pre-built Docker image or follow the installation instructions in the repository’s README. For enhanced analytical capabilities, users can combine pg_duckdb with MotherDuck’s cloud resources by signing up at motherduck.com.

About MotherDuck
MotherDuck makes analytics fun, frictionless, and ducking awesome. In partnership with the team building open source database DuckDB, MotherDuck was founded by former leaders at some of the most innovative companies in data. It is on a mission to combine the elegance and speed of DuckDB with the collaboration and scalability of the cloud to provide a serverless, easy to use data warehouse for data small and large.
