Very impressed with this report. Whenever I read TigerBeetle's claims on reliability and scalability, I'd think "ok, let's wait for the Jepsen report".

This report found a number of issues, which might be a cause for concern. But I think it's a positive because they didn't just fix the issues, they've expanded their internal test suite to catch similar bugs in future. With such an approach to engineering I feel like in 10 years TigerBeetle would have achieved the "just use Postgres" level of default database in its niche of financial applications.

Also great work aphyr! I feel like I learned a lot reading this report.

Curios if they got any large bank or stock exchange to use TigerBeetle

I think if they had, they'd brag about it on their homepage. So far the biggest endorsement from there is from some YouTuber. A popular YouTuber, no doubt, but a YouTuber nevertheless.

Yeah, TigerBeetle itself and their testing suite looks impressive, but putting Primeagen there makes them look like Next.js or Cursor.

The articles link to the paper about "Viewstamped Replication" is unfortunately broken (https://pmg.csail.mit.edu/papers/vr-revisited.pdf connection refused).

I think it should be http://pmg.csail.mit.edu/papers/vr-revisited.pdf (http scheme not https) ?

And now I have some Friday evening reading material.

Joran, creator and CEO from TigerBeetle here!

At a national level, we’re working with the Gates Foundation to integrate TigerBeetle into their non-profit central bank switch that will be powering Rwanda’s National Digital Payments System 2.0 later this year [1].

At an enterprise level, TigerBeetle already powers customers processing 100M+ transactions per month in production, and we recently signed our first $2B fintech unicorn in Europe with a few more in the US about to close. Because of the move to realtime transaction processing around the world [2] there’s been quite a bit of interest from companies wanting to move to TigerBeetle for more performance.

Finally, to your question, some of the founders of Clear Street, a fairly large brokerage on Wall Street have since invested [3] in TigerBeetle.

"Invested" in terms of "giving you money" or in terms of "Now uses the database themselves"? I read it as the first, but I think the question is about usage, not investments.

That’s a talk for engineers that was streamed on the Primeagen and went a bit viral. If you haven’t watched it yet, it’s an intro to TigerBeetle technically.

Otherwise check out https://tigerbeetle.com/company if you want more about the corporate side.
