Looking forward to ditching my PlanetScale plans for this! > ...people use Litestream today is to replicate their SQLite database to S3 (it's remarkably cheap for most SQLite databases to live-replicate to S3). Cloudflare R2 would make that even cheaper. Cloudflare set to open beta registration this week. And if you squint just enough, you'd see R2, S3 et al are nosql KV store themselves, masquerading as disk drives, and used here to back-up a sql db... > My claim is this: by building reliable, easy-to-use replication for SQLite, we make it attractive for all kinds of full-stack applications to run entirely on SQLite. Disruption (? [0]) playing out as expected? That said, the world reliable is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Reliability in distributed systems is hard (well... easy if your definition of reliability is different ;) [1]) > And if you don't need the Postgres features, they're a liability. Reminds me of WireGuard, and how it accomplishes so much more by doing so much less [2].
