Is there a succession plan in place given the bus factor [1] with such a small team? Is anyone else concerned about maintenance if either a normal everyday medical issue came up or in the worst case something unimaginable?

- xiphias2 4y agoIt’s not really a problem when it’s a 100% well tested software.
- bob1029 4y agoFrom my perspective, SQLite is stable enough to be considered "done". For our product, we could go back to builds from 2020 and none of our customers would be able to detect a difference. SQLite is not something we wire up and expose bare-ass to the public internet. We don't worry about 0-day security issues in this context. It's more like a wrapper our product uses for structured disk access. Anything that would warrant urgent patching is in .NET vendor or in-house software piles. If something horrible happened and the entire SQLite dev team was wiped off the face of the planet, I'd make a note to look at alternatives by ~2025.
