While I do agree that for most of companies those large SaaS solutions are overkill I do not think that DuckDB or similar is sufficient. Nowadays more of the companies really need to process large datasets. I meet regularly companies that used PostgreSQL or something similar up to some point but then they have grown and it is not sufficient anymore. They need something scalable. It does not have to be large SaaS: in many cases small Clickhouse cluster is sufficient. Nevertheless not everything can be done using single server. Also even if customer knows exactly well what are their needs right now does needs will grow and change over time so it is reasonable to build something that is not only good enough for now. Of course building something absolutely "future proof" leads to extremes and high bills.
