OK, this is really neat:
- S3 is really cheap static storage for files.
- DuckDB is a database that uses S3 for its storage.
- WASM lets you run binary (non-JS) code in your browser.
- DuckDB-Wasm allows you to run a database in your browser.
Put all of that together, and you get a website that queries S3 with no backend at all. Amazing.
