I'm appreciating this because I'm seeing the value of single process and single machine workflows. And this is after spending a decade on massive scale distributed systems, so I know that 98% of all people don't need scale. My bet is on a single document server, and I'm writing a programming language for board games : http://www.adama-lang.org/docs/what-the-living-document http://www.adama-lang.org/docs/what-the-living-document While I do see a future of the concepts I espouse as I'm making the language feel like an excel-reactive environment, my focus is on having fun. This year looks to be a slow year for the language as I built up some UIs for games. Litestreem looks very interesting because it may be the missing piece where I could leverage it to get durability of a single database.

My work over the last decade has also been in distributed systems and I completely agree most people don't need that scale. These new massive scale solutions are exciting for the few large companies that need them but it feels like everyone is being pushed onto these platforms as well—whether it makes sense or not. Let me know if you end up giving Litestream a try and how it works for you. I'm really working to make the developer experience as easy as possible and I'd love to hear feedback.
