Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-01

Use DuckDB 1.0 for bounded embedded analytics after validating the intended workload.

Why
Exact-version tests demonstrate analytical usability, with runtime instability and limited correctness and durability evidence.
Next
Evaluate a maintained release for new deployments; test pinned 1.0 queries, resource limits, persistence and upgrade compatibility.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Older release lacks subsequent fixes and performance improvements
  • Workload-specific memory and runtime behavior
  • Limited independent correctness and durability validation
  • Unsupported UDF types require alternative implementations
