Overall Satisfaction with kdb+

We use it for large-scale data collection, storage, analysis, and modeling. It has been game-changing in our ability to conduct research on large-scale datasets and has sped up our research pipeline and ability to share code across the team. This is for basic queries as well as more sophisticated AI work.
  • Time series analysis.
  • Large dataset storage.
  • Query re-use.
  • Run time error message readability, particularly for new users.
  • Backwards compatibility between versions.
  • Reliability.
  • Scalability.
  • Re-use.
  • Ability to get insights into a large production system.
  • Ability to handle data volumes greater than more basic databases / query languages.
  • Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) and MATLAB
Cheaper, more commonly used in industry. Simpler to start using, complications of the language aside.
