Comment on Ask HN: Is KDB a sane choice for a datalake in 2024?parent

Comments

Unless there's some significant new data that might change that decision, it is what it is.

This is what I’m grasping at.

Are the challenges of writing a KDB system for back testing derivatives data which needs to work in tandem with a rust pricing library substantially different from a KDB engineered for back testing spot data.

One has complex and specific math and one doesn’t.

I'm not sure if anyone's yet suggested that you embed your code as a library for KDB, that it could load dynamically? There's some pointer walking fun involved which Rust may _hate_ but it's not that hard and after that you'd be left with a the numerical arrays you're interested in.

It sounds like you're not given the tools to do your job
