> In general, in very tangible terms, what are the real benefits for choosing TigerBeetle over another distributed database?
Transaction processing at scale. The world doesn't need another string database. TigerBeetle is an integer database designed for (double-entry) counting, even under extreme write contention.

TigerBeetle is already being integrated into national payment systems. We also have a few enterprise customers. Some pretty large brokerages, wealth managements, exchanges and energy utilities. Granted, the company is only 3 years old, so we still have some market to demonstrate.
