QCon London '23 — A New Era for Database Design with TigerBeetle

Pivotal moments in database durability, I/O, systems programming languages and testing techniques, and how they influenced our design decisions for TigerBeetle. This is the pre-recording of our talk, which was later given live at QCon London '23, in the Innovations in Data Engineering track hosted by Sid Anand... and a stone's throw from Westminster Abbey! The live QCon talks were in-person only this year, and were not recorded, but thankfully, we stuck to the script, so that what you see here is what you would have seen, if you had been there. The cover art is a special illustration by Joy Machs. We wanted to bring together the London skyline to showcase old and new design in the form of the historic London Bridge alongside the futuristic Shard. If you happen to be in London, take a walk across the Millennium Footbridge, and see if you can see Joy's vision as you look across the water. Thanks to Sid Anand for the special invitation. It was an honor to present TigerBeetle alongside DynamoDB, StarTree, Gunnar Morling, and our friends in the Animal Database Alliance: Redpanda and DuckDB! https://qconlondon.com/presentation/m...
