duckplyr: Analyze large data with DuckDB and dplyr compatibility
Kirill Müller, cynkra

The duckplyr package is now stable; version 1.1.2 is on CRAN. It builds on top of DuckDB, a fast and flexible analytical engine that can work with larger-than-memory data from disk or cloud storage. All these features are available to duckplyr, with syntax and semantics much closer to R and the tidyverse. Use it to speed up existing code, to analyze Parquet or CSV files directly, or to access the plethora of exciting functionality provided by DuckDB.
