Even in our Alpha release, Turso launched a challenge: find a qualifying bug, improve our simulation infrastructure to hit the bug, and we will pay you $1,000.00. As we mature, through our beta and our upcoming 1.0, we plan to increase that prize. All the way to 5 or even 6 figures. Through Deterministic Simulation Testing, we are confident: Turso will have no bugs. Today we are happy to announce that someone was awarded our first bounty. In fact, two people working in close collaboration: Alperen K. and Ethan Chou researchers at the University of Maryland, extended our simulator to generate a more intricate combination of complex indexed queries in larger databases, to catch the bug. With the simulator being improved, a whole class of bugs is now impossible. In a project using a standard testing methodology, you would wait until someone hits this. Get a bug report, try to reproduce it for days or even weeks. Deterministic Simulation Testing allows us to generate the most improbable combinations autonomously, and run decades of simulations in a short period of time. If a bug is found, having the seed allows us to reproduce it perfectly and have the bug fixed the next day. Without this, we would never have the confidence to rewrite the most reliable piece of software in the planet. The bug: https://lnkd.in/gvfNtdyV The Turso Challenge: https://turso.algora.io
