Do people build their own networking layers above SQLite (besides for fun)? If you’re doing that, then you need to build some kind of replication story. At that point it makes sense to just use PG or MySQL
- randomdata 4y agoUnquestionably. Web apps and the like which are little more than networking frontends to a database are probably the most common type of software written these days.
- beoberha 4y agoAh, we’re talking about different things. I took “network layer” to mean something like the ability to connect directly to the database over the network, not through some shim application.
- randomdata 4y agoMeaning something like rqlite[1]? The age of fat desktop clients all connecting back to the central SQL server is long behind us, so yeah there is probably little reason beyond fun for something like that these days, but where there is fun!

- password4321 4y agoHa! PostgreSQL still needs some kind of replication story! ;) (PS. Mostly just pointing out that replication is still a bit awkward.)
