- **Query Parquet and Iceberg tables directly from object storage, in TypeScript.**
6
+ LakeQL is a pure JavaScript analytical query engine for Parquet and Iceberg, designed for
7
+ edge runtimes such as Cloudflare Workers. It requires no WASM, no native modules, and
8
+ streams large datasets with low memory usage.

8
- lakeql is small and dependency-light enough to run in **Cloudflare Workers and
9
- other edge/serverless runtimes**, where DuckDB-WASM or a JVM engine is too heavy.
10
- It streams with HTTP range reads and bounded memory, and either reads a table
11
- correctly or rejects it with a typed error — it won't return quietly-wrong rows.
10
+ LakeQL runs anywhere JavaScript runs: browsers, Node.js, Cloudflare Workers, and other
11
+ edge/serverless environments. It reads directly from object storage, uses bounded
12
+ streaming execution, and avoids the startup and deployment cost of DuckDB-WASM, native
13
+ modules, or a JVM.
14
+
15
+ Why care:
16
+
17
+ - Pure JavaScript: no WASM startup cost, no native modules.
18
+ - Edge runtime friendly: built for constrained JavaScript runtimes.
19
+ - Low-memory streaming execution over Parquet and Iceberg.
20
+ - Strict correctness: supported data is read correctly, unsupported semantics are rejected with typed errors.
21
+
22
+ Although LakeQL is optimized for portability and memory efficiency rather than raw
23
+ throughput, it is competitive with DuckDB-WASM and is faster on several common workloads.
24
+ Compare them in-browser at https://lakeql.com/compare.html.
