Apache-2.0 financial-transactions database, not general OLTP

Databases / Ledger · Apache-2.0 · 16.9k

What's Good

Apache-2.0. Debit/credit double-entry, strict serializability, replica safety. Single static binary. The docs are explicit: ledgers, not general CRUD.

The Catch

Not a Postgres replacement. No ad-hoc SQL, no JSON documents. Clustered replicas. If you needed a general database, this is the wrong gem.

Verdict

The financial transactions database. Apache-2.0, specialized on purpose.
