  • Bun ported to Rust in 6 days
    > Bun has had an extremely high amount of crashes/memory bugs due to them using Zig This just sounds like they are not good at using Zig. I have been daily driving ghostty on linux for a fairly long time now and I have never seen these kinds of issues. I have also used ghostty on macos for a bit and didn't have any problems there either. Zig is really good for writing stable and reliable code. There is also a... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
  • Minimal x86 Kernel Zig
    Gee, good thing I didn't make a blanket statement and qualified it by saying "often", which is true, my contrarian dude. https://tigerbeetle.com wouldn't have chosen it unless it found it faster than C- and there's a significant quantity of money riding on that decision, so it likely wasn't done lightly at all. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
  • 2025 Wrapup: Articles, Talks, Papers, and Software I Loved
    TigerBeetle - A high-performance, fault-tolerant ledger database that has impressed me with its speed and reliability. It's designed for financial applications, but its principles can be applied to any system requiring robust data integrity. What I'm most impressed about is their engineering philosophy and approach to building software. They focus on simplicity, correctness, and performance, which aligns with my... - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago
  • 62 chapter open-source Zig book
    Okay, is TigerBeetle[1] enough for you? I would say that's pretty real world. [1] https://tigerbeetle.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
  • TigerFans: Building a High-Performance Ticketing System with TigerBeetle
    > Selling an event out takes a long time to do frequently because tickets are VERY frequently not purchased--they're just reserved and then they fall back into open seating. TigerBeetle actually includes native support for fast two phase pending transfers out of the box: https://docs.tigerbeetle.com/coding/two-phase-transfers/ > Also, an act like Oasis is going to have a lot of reserved seating. Running through... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
  • Ziglang is so cool: Why I'm Going All-In on Zig
    I believe that with enough time and the right conditions, the Zig ecosystem will flourish. You can either get in early and help build the future you want to see, or you can wait for it to arrive. Today, remarkable products like the TigerBeetle database and the Ghostty terminal are already proving Zigโ€™s power in production. Joran Dirk Greef's talk on TigerBeetle is a masterclass in this philosophy. - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago
  • Why TigerBeetle is the most interesting database in the world
    I really like the work Joran and his team have done around DST, distributed systems awareness, and performance practices. I especially love the craziness around no dependencies (well, could you consider an underlying OS a dependecy?). But I've always felt the way they treat normal OLTP (they call OLGP) seems unfair. For example, comparisons using clear sub-optimal interactive SQL transactions for financial... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
  • Why TigerBeetle is the most interesting database in the world
    Joran from TigerBeetle! Without much sweat for general purpose workloads. But transaction processing tends to have power law contention that kills SQL row locks (cf. Amdahlโ€™s Law). We put a contention calculator on our homepage to show the theoretical best case limits and theyโ€™re lower than one might think: https://tigerbeetle.com. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
  • How to add rate limiting to a Spring Boot app using TigerBeetle
    In this post, I'll show you how to add rate limiting to a Spring Boot application. For the book-keeping required to make it work, we will be using TigerBeetle, a new financial transactions OLTP database. In case you haven't heard about it already, I'm sure you'll find it quite interesting from the perspective of what it can do and how it's built. As a bonus, I'll show you how to capture and visualise rate limiting... - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago
  • EdgeDB is now Gel and Postgres is the Future
    There are also now databases purpose built for specific domains. E.g. If you are building a financial ledger I would way rather be interfacing with TigerBeetle than building up an application-driven ledger in Postgres. https://tigerbeetle.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • How rqlite โ€“ the lightweight distributed database built on SQLite โ€“ is tested
    Https://tigerbeetle.com/ Or if you really wanna keep the SQLite theme: https://github.com/losfair/mvsqlite Why promote the vaporware project when comparing with something that's been in development for 10 years? - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • TigerBeetle Test Simulator [video]
    The test simulator/game starts at ~17:50 For those jumping to the comments wondering if it's worth watching: TigerBeetle[0] is a database for managing financial transactions. They extend the testing practices of FoundationDB (now spun out into Antithesis[1]), going a layer deeper to test for data integrity when there is disk io corruption (~20:30) In the demo, they have created a game-like simulation that runs in... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Engineers Do Not Get to Make Startup Mistakes When They Build Ledgers
    Btw for those wondering what to do instead is to simply use https://tigerbeetle.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Uber Migrates 1T Records from DynamoDB to LedgerStore to Save $6M Annually
    I wonder if they considered https://tigerbeetle.com. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
  • Redis Re-Implemented with SQLite
    I'm waiting for someone to implement the Redis API by swapping out the state machine in TigerBeetle (which was built modularly such that the state machine can be swapped out). https://tigerbeetle.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
  • Building a Scalable Accounting Ledger
    Why would you want to build your own accounting ledger from scratch? Accounting is a completely new domain for most engineers, and TigerBeetle (https://tigerbeetle.com/) already solves this problem. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
  • CWE Top Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses
    > There is no reason to use a memory unsafe language anymore, except legacy codebases, and that is also slowly but surely diminishing. I'm still yet to hear this amazingly compelling reason that you just need memory unsafe languages. In terms of cost/benefits analysis, memory unsafety is literally all costs. Tell that to the authors of new memory unsafe languages (like Zig) and creators of new project in those... - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago
