# tigerbeetle
*TigerBeetle is the financial transactions database designed for mission critical safety and performance to power the next 30 years of [OLTP](https://docs.tigerbeetle.com/concepts/oltp).*
## Documentation
*
* [The Primeagen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sC1B3d9C_sI) video introduction to our
design decisions regarding performance, safety, and debit/credit primitives.
* [Redesigning OLTP for a New Order of Magnitude (QCon SF)](https://www.infoq.com/presentations/redesign-oltp/)
talk with a deeper dive into TigerBeetle’s local storage engine and global consensus protocol.
* [TIGER_STYLE.md](./docs/TIGER_STYLE.md), the engineering methodology behind TigerBeetle.
* [Slack](https://slack.tigerbeetle.com/join), say hello!
## Start
Run a single-replica cluster on Linux (or [other platforms](https://docs.tigerbeetle.com/start/)):
```console
$ curl -Lo tigerbeetle.zip https://linux.tigerbeetle.com && unzip tigerbeetle.zip && ./tigerbeetle version
$ ./tigerbeetle format --cluster=0 --replica=0 --replica-count=1 --development 0_0.tigerbeetle
$ ./tigerbeetle start --addresses=3000 --development 0_0.tigerbeetle
```
Connect to the cluster and make a transfer:
```console
$ ./tigerbeetle repl --cluster=0 --addresses=3000
> create_accounts id=1 code=10 ledger=700,
id=2 code=10 ledger=700;
> create_transfers id=1 debit_account_id=1 credit_account_id=2 amount=10 ledger=700 code=10;
> lookup_accounts id=1, id=2;
