Overview

The DuckDB project is governed by the [non-profit DuckDB Foundation]({% link foundation/index.html %}). The Foundation and DuckDB Labs are not funded by external investors (e.g., venture capital). Instead, the Foundation is funded by contributions from its [members]({% link foundation/index.html %}#supporters), while DuckDB Labs' revenue is based on commercial support and feature prioritization services.

Planned Features (Last Updated: May 2025)

This section lists the features that the DuckDB team plans to work on in the coming year.

  • Documentation for the C extension API
  • Generic ODBC catalog, similarly to the existing PostgreSQL / MySQL / SQLite integrations
  • Go and Rust support for extensions
  • Data lake formats. – Update 2025-05-27: We released DuckLake, a lakehouse format. We would like to emphasize that we will keep developing DuckDB's Iceberg and Delta Lake extensions, and plan to add write support for these formats.
    • Improved support for the Iceberg format through the [iceberg extension]({% link docs/stable/core_extensions/iceberg/overview.md %})
    • Improved support for Delta Lake through the [delta extension]({% link docs/stable/core_extensions/delta.md %})
  • MATCH RECOGNIZE for pattern matching
  • Remote file content caching using buffer manager (e.g., when querying Parquet files on S3)
  • Database file encryption
  • Distribution of musl libc binaries

This list was compiled by the DuckDB maintainers and is based on the long-term strategic vision for the DuckDB project and general interactions with users in the open-source community (GitHub Issues and Discussions, social media, etc.). For details on how to request features in DuckDB, please refer to the FAQ item [“I would like feature X to be implemented in DuckDB”]({% link faq.md %}#i-would-like-feature-x-to-be-implemented-in-duckdb-how-do-i-proceed).

Please note that there are no guarantees that a particular feature will be released within the next year. Everything on this page is subject to change without notice.

Future Work

There are several items that we plan to implement at some point in the future. If you would like to expedite the development of these features, please get in touch with DuckDB Labs.
