CHALLENGE
WHY KX?
The CTO evaluated a popular document store, a fully managed time-series database, a key value store, a data warehouse, a popular database with extensive querying capabilities, and a distributed database.
The KX database matched his needs perfectly and integrated well with the company’s systems, was manageable, highly performant and cost effective, delivering a 75% cost saving.
Download Case StudyI just had to go with kdb+. We were able to use the cheapest storage AWS offers, S3, with 99% reliability, while maintaining the same performance as if working off SSDs at less than 1/10th the cost.
It’s incredible.
