Score: 6.5/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 6, Documentation: 8, Utility: 6)

duckdb.mk is a minimal build system for local DuckDB projects that uses Make and SQL files to create data pipelines. It parses SQL queries to infer dependencies via DuckDB's json_serialize_sql and generates Make rules to build Parquet tables. It's an interesting alternative to dbt for small-scale, single-machine data engineering.

Target audience: data engineers, analytics engineers, researchers
