Monolithic relational databases are the traditional foundation of financial core ledger systems. Nevertheless, the process of building and operating mission critical financial ledgers on these databases, and implementing homegrown accounting models, is a journey fraught with engineering challenges.

Twisp has set out to rethink the underlying technology for financial ledger systems by combining the operational and scaling characteristics of a distributed database, the correctness guarantees offered by relational databases, with pre-built accounting primitives, while fully leveraging the modern cloud. Twisp systems are repeatable, autoscaling, fully managed, and a boon to developer productivity.

In this episode, we speak to Michael Parsons, co-founder & CTO of Twisp.
