What is KDB-X?

KDB-X is a modern, modular analytics platform under active development by KX for real-time, AI-driven workloads. Built as the next generation of kdb+, it unifies with existing applications while introducing a framework that encourages community-driven contributions to the evolving, open, and modern data ecosystem.

KDB-X eliminates the need to stitch together disconnected time-series, vector, and AI workloads from separate tools. Developers can build and ship data-intensive applications faster - with support for Python, SQL, and q - in one unified, scalable, and developer-friendly environment designed for both structured and unstructured data.
