I work for a fintech company where we create several strategies generally built on finance data, which are like one-time series data. We deal with huge bulk data on a daily basis, and we use kdb+ for data ingestion and usage.
An easy-to-deploy solution that can be used for data ingestion and usage
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature of kdb+ is the speed at which it returns the data. Compared to kdb+, Oracle takes a lot of time to return the same number of rows. The solution returns data quickly, and data retrieval is fast in kdb+.
What needs improvement?
The solution should have a more user-friendly user interface.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using kdb+ for around one and a half years.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Around 50 users are using the solution in our organization.
How was the initial setup?
The solution’s initial setup is straightforward.
What other advice do I have?
I am working with the latest version of kdb+. I am more involved as an end user of kdb+ and not involved in data ingestion.
Around 20 engineers are involved in the solution's deployment and maintenance.
Overall, I rate kdb+ a nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
