ArcticDB users with AB

Across the forum I have seen many users relying on general purpose SQL or SQL-like Database users with the ODBC data plugin or some custom-written data plugin.

ArcticDB is a complete c++ rewrite of the old Arctic one which was developed by a Fund house for their needs. The performance benchmarks are quite impressive.

Given that there is a big limitation as it offers only python bindings, I was wondering if anyone uses it in production-grade application.
Its simple config resembles the AB DB much more,

  1. both have DB -> Symbols hierarchy ( ArcticDB can have different combinations)
  2. both have a time-series index for the symbol(s)

I use AB DB as local storage but wondered if someone is using ArcticDB. The general use-case is if you require data outside of AB.

I have been playing with it for a couple of weeks writing some wrappers and just seems amazing as it so similar to AB. This seems like a good fit-in for a DB cache for websocket data from (Brokers')datasource websocket.
