SIG-transaction

Rendered version (Recommended)

The transactions special interest group (SIG-transaction) are a group of people interested in transactions in distributed databases. We have a focus on transactions in TiKV and TiKV clients (including TiDB, which use TiKV go-client), but discuss academic work and other implementations too.

SIG activites

• talks on distributed transactions,
• a reading group for academic papers,
• discussion of transaction research and implementations on Slack,
• help understanding and configuring transactions in TiKV and TiDB,
• support for contributors to TiKV and related projects.

1. You can join us in #sig-transaction in the TiKV community Slack; come say hi! We use English or Chinese. (Recommended)
