KDB-X Roadmap

This page describes what new and exciting features are in design and development for KDB-X. Some are further along than others. We welcome feedback and design input from the community.

Native Parquet & Open Table Formats Integration

Work with Parquet as a first-class format in KDB-X, with support for direct querying, partitioning, and object store access.

Module Management

Language-level integration for modules with enhanced namespacing, dependencies, and packaging to simplify development and encourage reuse.

AI Library

Perform fuzzy, hybrid, and advanced time-series search using built-in algorithms for flexible, high-accuracy data matching.

Agentic & Natural Language Experience

Enable agents and language models to interact with KDB-X using structured prompts, query execution, and schema access.

Developer Tooling

Debug, profile, and validate q code with integrated tools designed to speed up iteration and improve code quality.

Process & Data Management

Manage q processes, setup multi-root databases, and utilize efficient inter process communication with new system-level enhancements.

GPU Acceleration

Speed up compute-heavy operations such as asof joins, matrix multiplication and vector similarity search.

Expanded Ecosystem Libraries

Carefully curated community and KX modules for integrations with security protocols, monitoring tools and third-party interoperability.
