Suggest watching the Tigerbeatle video link in the article. There they discuss bitrot, "fsync gate", how Postgres used fsync wrong for 30 years, etc. It is very interesting even as pure entertainment.


Thanks! Great to hear you enjoyed our talk. Most of it is simply putting the spotlight on UW-Madison’s work on storage faults.

Just to emphasize again that this blog post here is really quite different, since it does not fsync and breaks durability.

Not what we do in TigerBeetle or would recommend or encourage.

Hi! I don't have a need for your products directly, but I was very intrigued when I saw TB's demo and talk on ThePrimeagen YT channel. I have be developing software for a looooong time and it was a breath of fresh air in a sea of startups to see a company champion optimization, speed, and security without going too deep in the weeds and slowing development. These days, that typically comes more as an afterthought or as a response to an incident. Or not at all. I would recommend any developer with an open mind to read this short document[0]. I have been integrating it into my own company's development practices with good results.

Appreciate your taking the time to write these kind words. Great to hear that TigerStyle has been making an impact on your company’s developer practices!
