Am I not “people”? :)
I built a SQLite VFS module just like the one linked here, and this is what I use it for in production. My use case obviously does not preclude other people’s use cases. It’s one of many.
GP asked whether this is a toy and what the upsides might be. I answered both questions with an example of my production usage and what we get out of it.
- BoorishBears 3y agoA SQLite VFS module isn't a cloud SQL product, my comment refers to companies like fly.io and MotherDuck that are actually selling "embedded database in the cloud" It's entirely predicated on developer experience, otherwise there's no reason to specifically reach for an embedded database (in-process doesn't mean anything when the only thing the process is doing is running your DB)
- electroly 3y agoOkay, sure. I’m satisfied that I answered GP’s questions about this VFS module. This HN post is about the VFS module, posted by a notable SQLite extension developer (nalgeon).
