  1. kdb now on AWS<\/strong> – kdb as a fully managed service under finspace<\/a> – The website says available in June but at least one big investment bank is trialling it and having talked to\u00a0 a representative at AWS a significant amount of work and effort has gone into this. This is great to see. I think for the future of KX this needs to work.<\/strong> It doesn’t make sense for every firm to reinvent the wheel, banks could afford to do it but smaller firms cannot.<\/li>\n
  2. kdb.ai<\/strong><\/a> – seems to be repositioning kdb as a vector database for AI – currently it’s a few blog posts, whether there’s a real product or it’s to ride the AI hype train we will have to wait and see. Given the hype other inferior databases have received in the past, kdb deserves some attention.<\/li>\n
  3. Run q code on Snowflake<\/strong> – Snowflake is a column oriented database that only runs in the cloud and uses a central storage with compute nodes to service SQL queries. They provide snowpark that allows running java, python and now q close to the data. I’m unsure who the target of this is, many users struggle to fully understand one database without inception.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
