Hello,&nbsp;  
I am currently trying to understand how I could use KDB with a front end interface hosted by a server online .&nbsp;  
Apart python, what are the other option that can be used to build a front end interface that can connect to KDB database ?

Regards

Hi David,

If you start KDB with a port argument it will automatically function as a web server. It’s easy to connect a web socket or handle GET/POST requests, although the approach is delightfully unconventional.

This is great place to start:

Thanks,
