The lightning talk You could use DuckDB was presented at PyData Helsinki meetup of February 2026.
In the talk, I demoed DuckDB by using it to query Wikimedia’s pageview data. We answered the question of what was the most popular article on English (and Finnish and Russian) Wikipedia in January 2026. If you want to see the answer and you don’t want to download the data dump, use this website instead.
There were no slides, but here are a few links related to the contents of the talk.
