Duckle is an open-source ETL/ELT platform built on DuckDB that you self-host on your own servers or cloud, with a visual no-code/low-code canvas, SQL, or Python authoring. It ships 380+ components (sources, transforms, sinks, quality validators), CDC, dbt support, reverse ETL, lineage, scheduling, and an MCP server for AI agents, with no vendor cloud or per-row billing.

Use cases

  • sync postgres data to parquet files on a schedule
  • build etl pipelines without writing code
  • run change data capture from mysql to a warehouse
  • self-hosted alternative to fivetran or airbyte
  • clean and dedupe data before feeding an llm or rag pipeline
  • run dbt models on duckdb locally
  • move data between s3, snowflake, and saas apis
  • let ai agents trigger data pipelines via mcp

When to choose

  • you want pipelines on your own infrastructure with no vendor cloud or per-row billing
  • you need a visual canvas plus SQL transparency (generated SQL on every node)
  • you want a single DuckDB engine for local-speed transforms across 180+ connectors
  • you need CDC, incremental loads, data quality validators, and reverse ETL in one tool
  • you want pipelines as single files versioned in git

When to avoid

  • you need a fully managed cloud ETL service with zero infrastructure
  • you require connectors still on the roadmap (e.g. IBM DB2, Chroma, LanceDB)
  • your team depends on a mature, long-proven enterprise platform rather than a beta-stage tool
  • you need streaming real-time processing rather than batch/scheduled pipelines
