ledger

An immutable ledger records all transactions in append-only fashion, creating a permanent audit trail that cannot be altered or deleted. This approach protects financial integrity and simplifies compliance by preserving every transaction's history and allowing auditors to trace activity from inception.

Yes. The ledger supports reconciliation workflows that connect directly to Stripe and Neon Postgres-backed systems, enabling automated daily reconciliations and deterministic money handling without floating-point errors to ensure transactions match across all systems.

The ledger enforces idempotent mutations, meaning repeated operations produce identical results without duplication or corruption. This guarantees reliable handling of refunds and concurrent financial operations across multiple users while maintaining ledger consistency.

Use deterministic money handling that avoids floating-point arithmetic entirely. The ledger stores monetary values with exact precision, eliminating rounding errors that accumulate in payment systems and ensuring cent-accurate balances across all transactions.

No. The ledger provides direct balance verification commands that calculate totals from the immutable transaction history. Query results are deterministic and auditable because every entry is permanent and timestamped.

Use an immutable ledger when you need permanent audit trails, regulatory compliance, or fraud detection. Unlike updatable tables, append-only ledgers prevent accidental or malicious transaction deletion and provide complete financial history for reconciliation and investigations.
