See the example at https://huggingface.co/spaces/observablehq/fpdn where DuckDB is used both as a data loader (to download and digest 200GB worth of source data into a small 8MB parquet file) and on the client-side to allow the user to do live search queries on the minimized data. Server-side, we're using duckdb-the-binary, and client-side we're using duckdb-wasm.
