I'm having trouble understanding this (but everyone here thinks it's rather cool, so I think I'm missing something).
I've used SQLite mainly for small, app-local data storage (because it's easier than creating a custom file-format). What is the purpose of doing replication on such a database?
- nine_k 11y agoImagine a replica of client data on mobile devices, one shard per client.
- otoolep 11y agoIf you don't care about losing your data if you lose your host machine, then there is no point. The point is to have copies of your SQLite data on multiple different machines so if you lose one of the machines, you don't lose your data. The same reason anyone replicates a database.
- otoolep 11y agoThough there are other reasons to replicate databases -- read replicas. rqlite can do this do.
