Top SchoolPhil Eaton is a founder and seasoned software engineer with 11 years building databases, developer tools, and production systems from startup scrappiness to enterprise scale. He’s led teams and product at companies including Oracle, Linode, Capsule8, and TigerBeetle, and most recently contributed to a distributed PostgreSQL variant as a staff engineer before founding The Consensus for research and analysis.
