Ok your comment made me double check our benchmarking script in Go. Can confirm we didn't instantiate a new client with each request.

For transparency here's the full Golang benchmarking code and our results if you want to replicate it: https://gist.github.com/KelseyDH/c5cec31519f4420e195114dc9c8...

We shared the code with the Tigerbeetle team (who were very nice and responsive btw), and they didn't raise any issues with the script we wrote of their Tigerbeetle client. They did have many comments about the real-world performance of PostgreSQL in comparison, which is fair.
