Smallpond is a lightweight distributed data processing framework built on DuckDB and DeepSeek's 3FS shared file system. It lets users process petabyte-scale datasets with SQL and dataframe-style operations without running long-lived services.

Use cases

  • process large parquet datasets with SQL
  • sort terabytes of data across a cluster
  • run distributed group-by aggregations on parquet files
  • batch ETL over a shared filesystem
  • repartition and transform big datasets in Python

When to choose

  • you need DuckDB-style SQL processing scaled to many nodes
  • you have a shared filesystem like 3FS and want no long-running services
  • you want lightweight batch processing of parquet data at PB scale

When to avoid

  • you need streaming or real-time processing
  • you want a full Spark/Flink ecosystem with rich connectors
  • you only process small datasets that fit on one machine
