MotherDuck Expands Its Cloud Capabilities with New European Region
MotherDuck, a pioneering serverless data warehouse built on DuckDB, announces the launch of its first European cloud region, hosted in Frankfurt as of September 24, 2025. This strategic move addresses the increasing demand for cloud-scale analytics from European organizations while ensuring compliance with local data residency regulations. The new Frankfurt region reflects MotherDuck's commitment to offering efficient analytics solutions that cater to the specific needs of businesses within the EU, a significant milestone considering that DuckDB was originally developed in Amsterdam.
By establishing a presence in Europe, MotherDuck enhances its capacity to support companies like Trunkrs, a Netherlands-based same-day delivery service, which is transitioning from Amazon Redshift to MotherDuck’s platform. The shift enables Trunkrs to make real-time operational decisions without query bottlenecks, marking a notable improvement in performance and analytics capabilities. Hidde Stokvis, COO of Trunkrs, emphasizes that the enhanced performance facilitates deeper insights and more effective decision-making during critical meetings, underscoring the tangible benefits of switching to MotherDuck’s infrastructure.
The launch of the European cloud region is backed by a robust network of local partners including Artefact, Codecentric AG, Corail Analytics, Tasman Analytics, and Xebia, in addition to technology partners like dltHub and Omni, which are integral to the Modern Duck Stack ecosystem. Currently in private preview, the region is set for general availability later this fall, positioning MotherDuck as a formidable player in the European analytics landscape while reinforcing its dedication to compliance and data sovereignty.
In addition to this expansion, MotherDuck's launch aligns with a growing trend among tech companies to establish localized services that adhere to stringent data regulations. By keeping data within EU borders, MotherDuck not only enhances its competitive edge but also strengthens relationships with European businesses that prioritize data security and compliance. This move positions the company to capture a significant share of the rapidly evolving analytics market in Europe, meeting the needs of organizations striving for real-time data insights.
As the analytics landscape continues to evolve, MotherDuck's expansion into Europe signals a vital shift toward localized data solutions that prioritize compliance and performance, setting a promising precedent for future developments in the industry.
