Production Benchmarks · v0.3 · April 19 2026

233K TPS. Zero errors. Live failover tested.

Blazil v0.3 was benchmarked on AWS i4i.4xlarge with 4 shards committing to a 3-replica TigerBeetle VSR cluster. One replica was killed at t=80s — the cluster recovered in 37 seconds with zero rejected events. This is our primary production-grade claim: fault-tolerant by design, failover live-tested.
