    The test simulator/game starts at ~17:50

    For those jumping to the comments wondering if it's worth watching: TigerBeetle[0] is a database for managing financial transactions. They extend the testing practices of FoundationDB (now spun out into Antithesis[1]), going a layer deeper to test for data integrity when there is disk io corruption (~20:30)

    In the demo, they have created a game-like simulation that runs in the browser. You can watch Joran "attack" database nodes and simulate corruption. The entire presentation is impressive and the simulator is very entertaining.
