High Performance, Real-time Event Processing with PyKX

Join Mohammad Noor and Oliver Stewart for a practical look at how Citadel integrated PyKX into its kdb+-powered, real-time event-processing framework—opening that power to Python developers while preserving kdb+ performance.

What’s covered:

  • Why kdb+ underpins Citadel’s high-performance, real-time event-processing framework across multiple platforms.
  • Lowering the Q barrier with a Python-first interface to kdb+.
  • Integration highlights that made it work at scale
  • Enabling Python users to build and iterate on real-time pipelines while keeping hot paths in q/kdb+.
  • What changed, what stayed fast, and the challenges PyKX helped overcome.
