DuckDB products and data engineering, built in Germany.
Hugr Lab builds open DuckDB extensions and the services organisations need to run DuckDB safely, for teams whose data has to stay where it is. We are a small team on purpose, and the people who answer your questions are the people who wrote the code.
Your data stays with you
Everything we ship runs on your machines or in your own cloud tenant. We deliver software and updates, not a place to put your data.
Open, readable code
Extensions under open source licences (MIT, Apache-2.0), the few commercial services source-available under BUSL. Nothing you run is closed.
European jurisdiction
Based in Germany, hosted in the EU. Azure first, with Open Telekom Cloud and STACKIT next.
Data engineering, in short projects.
Getting SQL Server data into a lakehouse, putting DuckDB in front of your BI, or planning a data platform that stays in your cloud. Projects of a few weeks, done by the people who wrote the code. We take on projects once Hugr Lab UG is registered in November 2026. Write to us now and we will plan it with you.
- SQL Server to Parquet and DuckLake
- DuckDB in front of Power BI and notebooks
- Secrets, access and audit for DuckDB in your company
