Case Study: DoSomething.org reduces data warehouse costs and enables self-serve analytics with MotherDuck

DoSomething reduced data warehousing costs while empowering users to find their own answers

DoSomething.org, a nonprofit organization focused on youth leadership, struggled with an analytics infrastructure that was not optimized for their needs. Using Postgres as a data warehouse resulted in slow query performance and high costs, preventing their small data team from being responsive and making self-serve reporting for non-technical staff impossible.

By implementing the MotherDuck data warehouse, DoSomething.org solved their analytics challenge. MotherDuck provided significantly faster query performance and a lower total cost of ownership. This empowered non-technical colleagues to use the MotherDuck UI for self-serve reporting and opened up new possibilities like embedded analytics for their platform.
