## When it is useful

Connect an app to MotherDuck. Recommended path is the Postgres-compatible endpoint, which false-fires as Neon or PlanetScale. Native DuckDB API is not the default. Not local DuckDB (duckdb-*). Lite 0 USD/mo: 10 GB, 10 CU hours Pulse, 3 users / 2 service accounts.

## The Catch

Postgres endpoint false-fires as Neon/PlanetScale. Recommended path is not local DuckDB. Distinct from duckdb-attach-db. Lite 0 USD/mo: 10 GB storage, 10 CU hours Pulse, 3 users / 2 service accounts. Pulse only on Lite.
