Chaitanya Bhandari

Joined @TigerBeetleDB full time this week, where I would be working at the intersection of distributed systems, storage & databases alongside a phenomenal team. Looking forward to growing with the company! :)

@peterahn @marinapape Soon we'll look back and it'll be done. 😄 💪

@chaitybhandari you're a champ! What a special moment to see you "push the button" to start the trillion transactions scale test when we were all in Cape Town! 📸 @marinapape

It was thrilling to work on @TigerBeetleDB's trillion transactions test, but an even bigger privilege to have one's work visualized so spectacularly... Big kudos to our Logic&Magic team, @captainhorst, @fabianruehle, @joymachs, and @marinapape for making the invisible visible.

The architecture of a database is invisible. But it’s possible to make it visible with vision, creativity, and some storytelling. I love the joy, craft, and art our team at @TigerBeetleDB put into making the invisible visible Making deeply technical concepts approachable and beautiful ❤️‍🔥

Handcrafting the summit of “A Trillion Transactions” last month with our Logic & Magic team in Lisbon… @marinapape @fabianruehle @captainhorst @joymachs

Our new blog post A Trillion Transactions! tigerbeetle.com/blog/2026-03-1…

the guy she tells you not to worry about 😲

No prompt (sorry to disappoint!). We do our own stunts. No agencies (or agents). All inhouse. Everything you see was handsculpted in Blender by Fabian on our Logic & Magic team, with Fabio rendering this with Zig, WASM and WebGL and Joy illustrating the 3D model of the TigerBeetle character. In fact, everything at TigerBeetle is handcrafted. Just like the DBMS itself, per TigerStyle. Even the blog post art, all hand-drawn (if you look closely, you’ll see it’s always signed by Joy Machs). The quality is worth it.

This is really impressive. Great work, always impressed by the presentation and illustration of 800k transactions per second. Check it out at youtube.com/watch?v=y2_Bqk….

We processed a trillion transactions to test TigerBeetle’s scale...

A new talk by @jorandirkgreef tomorrow...

TigerBeetle 0.16.77 is released! - Remove unnecessary IO stalls to increase throughput. - Rework how eviction is signaled in tb_client. - Eliminate dependencies in the Rust client. github.com/tigerbeetle/ti…

Nice to see TigerBeetle becoming an application standard for Linux filesystem benchmarks. “XFS gained the most out of TigerBeetle with the succeeding Linux kernel releases and closed the gap with EXT4.” phoronix.com/review/linux-6…

@Steve1885204 TigerBeetle’s LSM is then replicated with Viewstamped Replication, plus Protocol-Aware Recovery for an explicit storage fault model, so you’re getting something like ZFS but distributed, with the self-healing properties coming from global consensus without need for local RAID.

Migrations. Rewrites. War stories from the engineers who build critical infrastructure. This is what BugBash sounds like. BugBash 2026 | April 23-24 | Washington DC Same energy. Bigger lineup. Get Tickets.

No wonder, another terrific presentation by @jorandirkgreef on TigerBeetle and scale at #MonsterScaleSummit .. Scale is survivability and Joran introduced Diagonal Scaling as a combination of Object storage + LSM + Replicated State Machines (RSM) .. image attached ..

February in TigerLand is out! - View change latency reduced from 5s to 500ms - 4% end-to-end performance boost - A new visual home for TigerStyle tigerbeetle.com/newsletters/20…

A trillion transactions... Join us tomorrow at Monster Scale Summit.

P1 for Jonas Axboe overall at #Sebring Coming back from a 6s gap then collision in race 1, requiring repair, to finish pole in races 2 and 3. Thrilling defense, even overtaking the SR10s. Sonoma next month...
