"Agents don't need fancy APIs or SDKs, they love the file system. ls, cat, find, grep. Pipelined UNIX tools. So I made files transactional and concurrent by backing them with a real database."
"Every file is a real PostgreSQL row. Multiple agents and humans read and write concurrently with full ACID guarantees. The filesystem /is/ the API (...) I built this mostly for agent workflows, but curious what else people would use it for."
TigerFS is an experimental filesystem that mounts a PostgreSQL database as a directory, enabling file operations using standard Unix tools. It combines the simplicity of a filesystem with the transactional guarantees of a database. The project supports two workflows: file-first, which organizes files with atomic writes and versioning, and data-first, which allows users to explore database data without SQL. The filesystem provides full ACID guarantees, facilitating concurrent access for multiple agents and users.
