What is Typhon database ?

Typhon's an embedded ACID engine in C# for game servers and sims — entities, MVCC, sub-μs commits.

Can C# handle high-performance databases?

Yes, with unsafe, pinned memory, ref structs — GC pauses tamed, perf matches native.

Ecosystem ease, hardware intrinsics, no manual mem — same speed, less pain.

Everyone said C# couldn't handle high-perf databases. Then this 30-year vet built Typhon: ACID transactions at 1-2 microseconds. GC who?
