MySuperLedger

What is MySuperLedger

MySuperLedger is a database specifically designed for accounting purpose. You can use it to create accounts, create ledgers, do double-entry bookkeeping. Its goal is to equip SMEs with the capability to handle super large accounting volume which usually internet giants such as Alipay, WeChat Pay, PayPal have.

Why SMEs will need MySuperLedger

The main reason is I believe the pay-as-you-go payment model will lead to a burst of bookkeeping activities which can easily reach the same magnitude of traffic and high-availability requirement that only internet giants have.

The accounting capability will be crucial to the success of SMEs that rely on the pay-as-you-go model. However, they usually don't have sufficient resources to develop their own accounting software, and existing ones are feature-rich but don't meet these non-functional requirements, e.g., high traffic volume, 7x24 available, zero data loss.

Who am I and why I can do this

I am a seasoned developer in the financial industry for over 13 years, dealing with critical finance data most of my career. I designed and led the development the financial accounting system for eBay management payment. The system can now handle 1 million transactions per second and can easily scale out to support even larger volume. It is also high available, 99.999% available in over two years, that's 7-minutes downtime, it could get more 9s if that mis-operation didn't happen. Thirdly, the system can guarantee no data loss, which is also a must-have requirement on financial accounting system. Last but not least, it's 100% audit-able, it will not only tell you the account's latest balance, but also evey transaction that leads to it.

Below are two articles I wrote about the system.

What's incoming

I'm going to provide following features:

Create a Credit or Debit account
Create a ledger
Add a transaction to a ledger
Query account's balance
Query the transaction history of an account or ledger

Stay tuned.
