I mean, tigerbeetle looks extremely cool (I've watched the project develop since its inception), and I trust them to be rock-solid. But saying "just use this project that is very new and unproven, written in a new and unproven programming language" is just pretty unserious. At least talk about pros, cons, risks, and tradeoffs.

>very new and unproven, written in a new and unproven programming language while i'd generally agree with this, in the case of TigerBeetle i think it's safe to trust their tech based on their test-suite/practices - one of the most impressive things I've seen in the past 5 years. they extend the testing practices of FoundationDB (now spun out into Antithesis[0]), going a layer deeper to test for data integrity when there is disk io corruption. check out from ~20:30 in this demo: https://youtu.be/sC1B3d9C_sI?feature=shared&t=1228/ https://youtu.be/sC1B3d9C_sI?feature=shared&t=1228/ [0] https://antithesis.com https://antithesis.com
