Staging on both sides
Databricks loads through its S3 or Azure staging and MotherDuck through your S3 bucket. This is the pair where you configure storage twice.
Connect MotherDuck with Databricks
Connect Databricks and MotherDuck with Polytomic to move tables between the lakehouse and DuckDB. Both platforms load through external cloud storage, so staging is configured on each side, and Polytomic runs the ETL and reverse ETL between them on whatever schedule suits your work.
