Why AICG for MotherDuck
Right-sized analytics, engineered by a team that has done it
Most analytics workloads do not need a cluster. They need fast SQL, sensible costs, and a platform that gets out of the way. MotherDuck delivers that with serverless DuckDB in the cloud and on the laptop, but adoption still takes architecture, migration discipline, and engineering rigor.
That is where AICG comes in. We pair senior consultants with our own accelerators: DLH.io lands operational data in your MotherDuck database, and DBDeux, the managed dbt platform, keeps dbt-duckdb projects fast, tested, and governed as they grow. You get a modern stack that is cheaper to run and faster to change.
Professional services
MotherDuck system integration, end to end
Senior consultants who design, build, and run MotherDuck platforms for enterprise clients, with every engagement scoped to a measurable business outcome.
MotherDuck Architecture
Design a platform sized to your workloads: database and share topology, hybrid local-plus-cloud execution with DuckDB, access-token and service-account strategy, and a reference architecture for ingestion, transformation, and serving that maps to your budget and growth plan.
Migrations off Snowflake, Oracle & BigQuery
Many analytics workloads are overprovisioned. We identify which warehouses, marts, and reports fit MotherDuck's serverless model, convert SQL and dbt models to the DuckDB dialect, validate parity against the source, and cut over with a plan that eliminates idle compute without disrupting consumers.
From Notebooks to Flights
Retire fragile notebooks, cron jobs, and hand-rolled Python scripts. We rebuild them as MotherDuck Flights: scheduled Python pipelines with a managed runtime, secrets, versioning, and run history, so ingestion and enrichment run right where your data lives.
Custom Application Development
Build data products on MotherDuck: internal tools, customer-facing data apps, and AI agent workflows over the MotherDuck MCP Server, engineered by the same AICG team that builds production software for enterprise clients.
See our custom development servicesFaster dbt with DBDeux
Run dbt-duckdb projects against MotherDuck on DBDeux, the managed dbt platform. Slimmer CI, interactive lineage, the Atlas catalog with governed metrics, and an AI-native IDE keep transformation fast as your model count multiplies.

Put interactive analytics where decisions happen. We deliver department-level marts and dashboards, and embed live, interactive MotherDuck Dives in your SaaS product or customer portal, with no separate BI tool or charting layer to maintain.
Accelerators
DLH.io and DBDeux: built by AICG, proven on MotherDuck
Our products grew out of real client engagements. On MotherDuck projects they replace months of custom ingestion and dbt scaffolding with components that already work in production.
Operational data in MotherDuck in an afternoon
DLH.io Sync Bridges load POS, payroll, HRIS, ERP, and SaaS data into your MotherDuck database with historical and incremental loads, column hashing, captured deletes, and audit-ready run logs. No pipelines to build or babysit.

FAQ
MotherDuck questions, answered
Why choose MotherDuck over a larger cloud warehouse?
Most operational and departmental datasets fit comfortably on a single modern machine. MotherDuck is serverless and built on DuckDB, so you get fast analytics without sizing clusters or paying for idle compute, and the same SQL runs on a laptop or in the cloud.
Should we move off Snowflake or BigQuery entirely?
Not necessarily. Many clients run MotherDuck alongside an existing warehouse and move departmental, embedded, and cost-sensitive workloads first. Our assessment shows which workloads to move, which to keep, and what each move saves.
What are MotherDuck Flights and Dives?
Flights are scheduled Python jobs that run on a managed runtime inside MotherDuck, ideal for ingestion and enrichment. Dives are interactive visualizations built on live MotherDuck data that can be shared internally or embedded in your application.
Can DBDeux run our dbt project on MotherDuck?
Yes. DBDeux supports MotherDuck as a dbt adapter, so dbt-duckdb projects get Slimmer CI, lineage, the Atlas catalog, and an AI-native IDE against the same MotherDuck database DLH.io loads.
Do we have to use DLH.io or DBDeux?
No. We deliver on your existing tooling when that is the right call. DLH.io and DBDeux are accelerators that let our consultants start from proven, prebuilt components instead of a blank page.
