Why teams connect Dremio and MotherDuck

Keep tables consistent across Dremio and MotherDuck, for a migration, a multi-warehouse stack, or a dataset two platforms both need.

Companies end up with two warehouses for practical reasons: a migration in progress, teams that standardized on different platforms, an acquisition, or tools that only connect to one of them. The result is the same dataset maintained twice, with duplicated pipelines and numbers that almost match.

Stacksync syncs tables between Dremio and MotherDuck continuously, in either or both directions. Rows changed on one platform appear on the other within seconds, with schema and type mapping handled, so both warehouses answer questions with the same data.

Common use cases

  • Sync curated Dremio views into an operational Postgres so applications get low-latency access to lakehouse data.
  • Reverse-ETL aggregates computed over lake data out to CRMs and finance tools for business users.
  • Land CRM and operational database records in MotherDuck so a small team gets warehouse-style analytics without cluster management
  • Sync modeled MotherDuck tables outward to operational tools for activation

Shared datasets across teams

Where different teams run different warehouses, sync the curated tables both rely on so their metrics agree by construction.

Consolidation after M&A

Bring the acquired company's warehouse data across continuously instead of through one-off dumps.

Migration without a big bang

When one platform is replacing the other, keep tables mirrored while workloads move over gradually, and cut over with nothing to backfill.

What you can sync between Dremio and MotherDuck

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Dremio objects MotherDuck objects
Spaces and folders Namespaces that organize virtual datasets and govern access. Tables The main landing target for synced records and source for analysis.
Reflections Materialized accelerations that make repeated extraction queries cheaper. Views Modeled projections used as outbound sync sources.
Jobs Query execution records useful for monitoring sync workloads. Database Shares Read-only copies of a database shared with other users or teams.
Sources Connected storage and database systems (S3, ADLS, relational databases) Dremio queries in place. Attached Local DuckDB Databases Local files attached alongside cloud databases for hybrid queries.
Physical datasets Tables and files promoted from sources; the raw data a sync ultimately reads. Databases Cloud-hosted DuckDB databases that scope a sync's reads and writes.
Virtual datasets (views) SQL views layering semantics over physical data; the preferred sync target for curated extracts. Schemas Namespaces within a database used to organize synced tables.

How the Dremio and MotherDuck connectors work

Dremio

Integration surface
Arrow Flight SQL, JDBC/ODBC, and a REST API
Authentication
Personal access tokens or username/password; OAuth-based SSO on Dremio Cloud
Change detection
Polling via SQL; Iceberg table snapshots can anchor incremental reads; no consumer-facing change feed
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Bounded by engine capacity and workload management rather than API rate limits

MotherDuck

Integration surface
SQL through DuckDB clients and drivers using a MotherDuck (md:) connection
Authentication
Access token created in MotherDuck (Settings > General > Create Token), pasted into Stacksync; database name and schema configurable if not using defaults
Change detection
Polling; no log-based CDC or webhook surface is exposed
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Subject to the platform's compute and concurrency limits rather than per-request API rate limits
