Very cool project putting together raft and sqlite. Definitely seems like it's biggest benefit would be super simple operation when you also really need the distributed behaviors. Is that accurate? What do you guys use it for and where do you think the sweet spot is for its application?
- otoolep 5y agoYes, simplicity of operation is a key goal of rqlite. To quote from the FAQ: rqlite is very simple to deploy, run, and manage -- in fact, simplicity-of-operation is a key design goal. It's also lightweight and easy to query. It's a single binary you can drop anywhere on a machine, and just start it, which makes it very convenient. It takes literally seconds to configure and form a cluster, which provides you with fault-tolerance and high-availability. With rqlite you have complete control over your database infrastructure, and the data it stores. https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite/blob/master/DOC/FAQ.md#why-would-i-use-this-versus-some-other-distributed-database https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite/blob/master/DOC/FAQ.md#why-...
