Kite 3 architecture and technical stack

Mon, 11 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Kite 3 is the third major version of Zerodha’s Kite trading platform, released in 2018 as a ground-up rewrite of the Kite front end and data layer. The rewrite replaced the jQuery-based implementation of the original Kite with a component-driven JavaScript architecture, introduced a binary WebSocket protocol for real-time market data delivery, and integrated TradingView’s charting library for technical analysis. Kite 3 serves as the current foundation for both Kite Web and the Kite Mobile app.
