1000x Faster
OLTP Performance

1000x Faster OLTP Performance

TigerBeetle redesigns the distributed database storage engine and consensus protocol for the OLTP workload.

This solves the problem of OLTP write contention to unlock three orders of magnitude more performance than a general purpose (OLGP) database.

Designed for Debit/Credit

The language of business transactions around the world is Debit/Credit. TigerBeetle ships with this schema out of the box.

  • Enforce financial consistency in the database.

  • Process thousands of debit/credit transactions in a single query.

Mission-Critical Safety

TigerBeetle guarantees Strict Serializability without betting correctness on clock sync, and enforces NASA's Power of Ten Rules for Safety-Critical Code:

  • Static memory allocation for predictable latencies.

  • 6000+ assertions to verify correctness at runtime.

Indestructible
Storage Fault-Tolerance

Designed in 2020, TigerBeetle is one of the first distributed databases to apply 2018 research, Protocol-Aware Recovery, to use global redundancy to survive local storage faults.

0.031% of SSD disks per year exhibit latent sector errors.

0.023% of SSD disks per year corrupt or misdirect I/O.

A Study of SSD Reliability in Large Scale Enterprise Storage Deployments

Multi AZ / Region / Cloud

  • Automated failover with the VSR consensus protocol.

  • Gray failure tolerance and high availability.

  • Run on-premise, and across data centers or cloud providers.

Massive Scalability and Cost-Efficiency

A single TigerBeetle cluster can process over 100 billion transactions, at a hundredth of the cost compared to legacy, proprietary or cloud databases. Why big iron when you can beetle?

Centuries of Testing

TigerBeetle is one of three databases in the world (along with FoundationDB), designed to run in a deterministic simulator and apply model checking techniques but on the actual code.

Fault injection simulates network partitions, packet loss, crashes, and even disk corruption, while time can be accelerated in the simulated world by a factor of seven hundred times.

A hundred simulator cores test TigerBeetle through two centuries every day.

Powerful Primitives

T-Accounts

TigerBeetle does double-entry accounting like Newton’s Third Law. For every transfer to an account, there is an equal and opposite transfer from a different account.

Linked Events

Multiple transfers between multiple accounts may be linked together to succeed or fail as an atomic unit.

Net Balance Limits

Accounts may enforce net balance limits, such as debits may not exceed credits, or credits may not exceed debits.

Chart of Accounts

Accounts and transfers may specify a chart of accounts code so you can query for accounts or transfers of a given type.

Connected Systems

Accounts and transfers stay connected to third-party entities (many-to-one) through a 128-bit user data identifier.

Multi-Tenant Currencies

A cluster may contain accounts denominated in different currencies or units of value, with transfers only ever between accounts of the same unit.

Two-Phase Transfers

Reserve debits and credits in the first phase, and accept or reject these amounts in the second phase, with monotonic clock timeouts. The perfect primitive for atomic transfers across different systems.

Inflight Balances

TigerBeetle can distinguish between inflight reserved amounts and committed accepted amounts to control inflight liquidity.

  • Two-Phase Transfers

    Reserve debits and credits in the first phase, and accept or reject these amounts in the second phase, with monotonic clock timeouts. The perfect primitive for atomic transfers across different systems.
