A curated list of chDB resources — language bindings, frameworks, integrations, notebooks, talks, and benchmarks.
chDB is an in-process OLAP SQL engine powered by ClickHouse, embedded as a Python / Bun / Node.js / Go / Rust / C library. It runs ClickHouse's full SQL dialect with 1000+ functions, queries Parquet / CSV / JSON files in place, references DataFrames directly in SQL via the Python(df) table function, and federates to remote ClickHouse clusters with remoteSecure() — all without spinning up a server.
Status: this list is being seeded. More entries will be added incrementally. PRs welcome — see Contributing.
