kdb+ closes the gap between what other databases deliver and what today’s real-time enterprises need for data-driven decisions.
kdb+ provides data scientists and application developers with centralized high-performance time series data access and analytics for real-time and multi-petabyte historical datasets. Small, fast, and with a small footprint, kdb+ is proven by independent benchmarks to significantly reduce hardware and maintenance costs and deliver ultra-high performance and scalability. Widely used in intelligent enterprises, from motorsport and manufacturing to healthcare and finance, to realize tangible data-driven outcomes.
kdb+ is a fast, powerful, scalable database whose ability to store and process vast amounts of data using q, its built-in programming language makes it an ideal platform for advanced analytics and machine learning.
Automatically distributes database operations across CPU cores.
Small memory footprint (<800kB) exploits L1/2 CPU caches (up to 100 times faster than RAM).
Delivers greater speed and efficiency than typical relational databases.
Operates directly on the data, removing the need to ship query results to other applications for analysis.
Native support for time-series operations vastly improves the speed and flexibility of queries, aggregation, joins, and analysis of business information.
It provides the ability to query streaming and disk-based data as a single database without losing speed or amending code.
Optimizes resources and reduces execution time as all data and functions reside in the in-memory workspace.
