    Great concept. Had this idea myself recently.

      Highly rec going after a specific vertical - healthcare might be the right spot given your experience. Why did you use DuckDB instead of CockroachDB/Snowflake?

        Our outreach is vertical-specific, and healthcare is indeed on the list! But what we learned working a vertical is that the primitives underneath (shared queries, permissions, caching, refresh semantics) repeat across industries.

        We use DuckDB internally because we like its ergonomics - it's flexible, runs well in memory, manages a lot of file structures under the hood, but we do work with Snowflake (and Databricks and other warehouses) as well.
