No, but the ability to deploy it on stateful containers is.

  I'm sorry, I don't understand any word of that sentence (for instance: we don't run containers?). We sponsor Litestream and LiteFS (in the sense that we pay Ben to work on it full time), but no part of Litestream is baked into or in any way coupled with our platform. If you can run Litestream on Fly.io, you can run it anywhere else.

    > for instance: we don't run containers? You "transmogrify container images into Firecracker micro-VMs" - surely you knew what I meant? And there is no denying that fly.io is a _particularly_ well suited platform to run stateful SQLite apps (with or without Litestream), since fly makes running stateful applications easy. I think thats awesome. I'm really confused why you seem to be trying to distance yourself from that, and why you are latching on so hard to my passing mention of fly. I wasn't making a dig, just pointing out that most people are stuck with (arguably worse) platforms that don't lend themself to stateful, "in-core" databases.

      My confusion is that there's nothing container-y about Litestream. It works anywhere SQLite does. I like our platform a lot, but I mean, Litestream works just as well on AWS. I'm just confused, is all. :)
