Original: Ad-Hoc Video Analytics with DuckDB on Parquet Exports from Production SQLite

Short summary

A developer demonstrates separating operational and analytical workloads by exporting production SQLite snapshots to Parquet and querying them locally with DuckDB. A nightly PHP script reduced analytical queries from 20+ minutes to 4 seconds while avoiding production database load. This pattern enables fast exploratory analytics on minimal infrastructure.

  • Export production SQLite data to hive-partitioned Parquet files nightly via DuckDB CLI
  • Query Parquet locally with DuckDB for sub-second analytical results
  • Separates analytical and operational workloads without infrastructure scaling
