“ You can’t cache or mess up the numbers” with OLTP. When your workloads have different shapes, separation in your architecture matters. Love this excerpt from @jorandirkgreef's “Mission Critical” tech talk where he articulates how @TigerBeetleDB as your “bank vault” works alongside your “filing cabinets” (OLGP) and “back office” (OLAP). #30yearsofOLTP

“ If you see your software as mission critical, then even if it's not, you'll ship sooner, safer, faster.” - @jorandirkgreef It’s been almost two months since Joran gave his closing tech talk at Systems Distributed in Boston this year. There are countless golden nuggets peppered throughout the talk so over the coming weeks I’ll be sharing some of my favorite moments starting with this intro from our Maestro and Chief 🎷

"Racing fits that need for more in me." – Jonas Axboe "Pushing it to the limit, that same champion spirit, but also that same humility, that he and his dad both have... it's a quiet ferociousness." – Joran Dirk Greef Congrats, Jonas @axboe, on winning the Radical Cup North America Pro 1500!

🏎️ At last year’s Systems Distributed conference in Amsterdam, @jorandirkgreef unveiled a virtual racetrack our team developed to show @TigerBeetleDB racing against a million dollar Postgres cluster. At this year's Systems Distributed we unveiled the real life TigerBeetle race car. The talented driver, @axboe's son Jonas, inspires us to be champion, to be fast and safe, to push the limits always. Watch Joran describe so masterfully what it means to be champion both on and off the race track. #bechampion #systemsdistributed

While OLGP databases do give you transactions, the defaults are dangerous. They don't guarantee serializable execution of your transactions by default. Friends don't let friends use Read Committed!

Power Law all the way down. Google Pay and PhonePe account for 80% of the UPI traffic and beneath them volume concentrates on just a few platforms.
