Highly efficient data processing, optimizes infrastructure, and offers good integrations
DuckDB is very fast. If we don't have enough memory, we can use swap. For instance, if we use a fast storage space, the system volume in Kubernetes could be a fast swap for DuckDB if we have memory limits. In our framework, DuckDB is five times faster than Spark in some cases. It has an extensive SQL dialect, many SQL Windows functions, and good integration with Polars. We can easily use SQL and Pandas framework in Python to process data.

Easy to integrate and manage the setup phase
One of the things that I want to see in Oracle Berkeley DB is a driver for reactive programming. I think the tool's official driver for reactive programming, especially for Java, is the thing that Oracle needs to be more agile in, specifically in those areas of programming that other products are currently going into. Other tools have become more innovative in many areas. I know that Oracle has many responsibilities in maintaining the situation with the current projects and so on. I think it would be very cool if Oracle could make improvements to its projects, as it can help me with my current projects. One reason why I don't choose Oracle Berkeley DB is because we want to go for reactive programming, along with Project Reactor from Spring, but we don't have the official driver for it.
