The technology choices are parallel to the increasing demand for stricter six-dimensional phase space quality. The current capability for beam parameters and future requirements are laid out alongside a discussion on challenges and technological bottlenecks. In light of this review, preliminary results for a high capability injector providing high repetition rate, and continuous wave emission is presented as an option for the UK XFEL.
