I’ve posted here before about Arc, and wanted to share a quick update. We’ve been heads down the last few weeks, and things are moving fast, performance is up, features are landing, and the community response has been awesome.
Arc uses DuckDB as the SQL engine, with MessagePack, Arrow, and Parquet under the hood. Right now we’re seeing around 2.45M RPS for metrics, and about 1M RPS for logs, events, and traces. It now supports retention policies, deletes, and continuous queries that aggregate data as it comes in.
We also built a VS Code extension to explore and query Arc, added Apache Superset integration, and are working on Telegraf and a Grafana datasource next.
Feedback is always welcome. good, bad, or brutal. It all helps.
Happy Thursday!

This community pushed Arc forward faster than I imagined, from architecture ideas to performance discussions, it’s been awesome to geek out with so many of you.
We’ve now crossed 210 stars on GitHub and added fresh ClickBench results (36.43 s cold / 35.12 s hot) on AWS c6a.4xlarge, plus 2.01 M records/sec write throughput using MessagePack.

Docs are coming later today, and more benchmarks soon.
Appreciate everyone who tested, challenged, or just said “this looks cool.”
I’d love to hear the Hacker News community’s thoughts on this concept:
- Is this a service you’d consider using? - What would you expect in terms of pricing? (Flat fee, distance-based, hourly?) - What challenges or opportunities do you see in scaling a service like this?
Here’s a quick rundown of the idea:
- Drivers arrive at your location via electric scooter or electric bike. - They stow their scooter in your car and drive you to your destination. - Once you’re home, they use the scooter to get to their next assignment.
Preliminary Pricing Ideas: - Base Fee: $10–15 - Additional Charges: $1–2 per kilometer OR $10–15 per hour - We’re considering a pilot launch in cities where alcohol-related driving laws are strict, like Montevideo or Santiago, but I’d love to hear if this idea resonates with a broader audience.
In China, services like this are quite popular, but I would love to have a broad insights.
Looking forward to your insights and feedback!
