Developers building high-performance, latency-sensitive applications on Apple Silicon now have a new reason to celebrate: Oracle TimesTen 22.1.1.37 is available for macOS on ARM 64. This release expands TimesTen’s reach to modern Mac developer environments—making it easier to develop, test, and iterate locally on M-series systems. 

Why this matters: Apple Silicon is a mainstream dev platform

macOS on ARM 64 (Apple Silicon) has become a common workstation standard across engineering teams. Native availability of TimesTen on this platform helps remove friction for:

  • Local development and prototyping on MacBooks and Mac Studios
  • Developer productivity (faster iteration, fewer environment mismatches)
  • Consistency in application behavior when moving between local and shared environments (within supported configurations)

TimesTen’s core value proposition—an in-memory relational database designed for ultra-low latency and high throughput—becomes more accessible when developers can run native client/server applications on their primary machines. 

What you can do with TimesTen on macOS ARM 64

With TimesTen available on Apple Silicon, developers can more naturally incorporate it into everyday workflows such as:

  • Building and validating real-time data access patterns
  • Testing SQL logic and schema designs early
  • Developing visually and simply through SQL Developer support
  • Running benchmarks and latency profiling during development
  • Choosing from wide range of APIs such as Python and Node.JS for application development

Getting started (high level)

To begin, you’ll typically:

  1. Obtain the TimesTen 22.1.1.37 client distribution for macOS ARM 64 
  2. Install it on your Apple Silicon system
  3. Configure a client DSN to connect to a TimesTen server database
  4. Connect using your application’s preferred interface (e.g., JDBC/ODBC where supported in your setup)
  5. Validate performance and behavior with representative workloads
