TigerBeetle delivers. High throughput, predictable low latency, and cost-efficiency at scale through first-principles design and relentless optimization. Move more transactions, faster, on less hardware.
In the past 10 years, transaction volumes surged 100x–1,000x across cloud, energy, and gaming, and up to 10,000x in real-time payments. Mainframe or not, legacy systems are at a breaking point.

Traditional SQL databases hold locks across the network; under Amdahl's Law, even modest contention caps write throughput at ≈100–1,000 TPS, a hard asymptote that no amount of horizontal scaling can overcome.

I/O is faster than ever and CPU is the new bottleneck. The future of transaction processing optimizes for cache locality and looks nothing like the HDD-bound past.
TigerBeetle co-designs the global consensus protocol and local storage engine from first principles, as a single system to extract every last transaction per CPU cycle, even under extreme write contention.

Where a general-purpose database executes 1 transaction per 2+ queries, TigerBeetle executes up to 8,189 transactions per query. Zero contention collapse. Maximum throughput.

Built for soft real-time performance: static memory allocation, zero copy, zero deserialization, Direct I/O, io_uring. Tight tail latencies at peak load.

TigerBeetle’s tiered storage engine spans every level of the storage hierarchy (L1/L2/L3 CPU caches, RAM, and NVMe). Automatic speed. Long-term capacity.

Even at low contention, scaling out only multiplies locks. TigerBeetle scales up on 6 machines. Replicated. Never partitioned. Maximum performance per dollar.
