Richard talks with TigerBeetle founder Joran Greef about how their team's database achieved a wildly successful Jepsen Report. Where other databases have been famously skewered in the past, TigerBeetle passed with flying colors, and Richard and Joran discuss the story of how they got there, how TigerBeetle makes money when their database is open source, and many other topics around software quality in general.
