Ibis is a pure Python library that lets you write Python to build up expressions that can be executed on a wide array of backends (sqlite, duckdb, postgres, spark, clickhouse, bigquery, and more!). It offers a dataframe-like interface and is more concise and composable than SQLAlchemy when writing interactive analytics code.
