What do frontends for this type of stuff look like these days? I remember one of my first jobs out of college they had wired up an OLAP cube into Excel so that you could import it into a pivot table and arbitrarily slice and dice data by dragging and dropping columns. I thought that was the coolest thing. Is there a modern day non excel equivalent of this? Cube.js?
I'd imagine Looker, PowerBI, Tableau are probably the front-ends you'd most commonly hear about, although I'm not sure DuckDb is supported or acknowledged by the parent companies (yet).
