Yes, it was really interesting to learn that TigerBeetle was inspired by research out of UW–Madison on storage faults.

I’ve also heard great things about their database group.

Okay we're done with Benchmarking. Bringing up the whole Tigerbeetle team to take bows. Calling out the individual work each person did on the benchmarking demo and the conference.

Picture of the vs screen, though I think it loses a bit without the animations and the music

(oh hey the lights turned yellow because the last race is with DuckDB)

They plan to release the program so you can make your own database races

Tigerbeetle also had the ability to do full replication and durability checks, since it was fast enough to afford to spend cycles on that.

That was at 10% contention. Now benchmarking 50% contention with the proprietary postgres million-dollar cluster. Gets 2 minute headstart vs tigerbeetle

I mean they had the potential to change color, they just didn't until the closing keynote.

To the beat of the synthwave.

That is playing.

What a conference, man

Aaaaaanyway that was a benchmark visualization. Postgres avged 1k tps, tigerbeetle avged 300k tps for same latency levels

client runs on separate machine. Proprietary cluster users anonymized. Missed a bit of theother benchmark details.

"The time has come to race."

Gonna replay the real performance traces for us. Showing that now for psql, plus analytic database

Again, this ONLY does OLTP. No general-purpose processing, no custom data, no user passwords or workflow state machines, just accounts and debits/credits, nothing else. Specialization gives special interfaces gives power.

Benchmark time! Every db [except cluster?] runs on i8g.16xlarge...
