Yes, simplicity of operation is a key goal of rqlite. To quote from the FAQ: rqlite is very simple to deploy, run, and manage -- in fact, simplicity-of-operation is a key design goal. It's also lightweight and easy to query. It's

That's reasonable -- thanks.

I called it "Jepsen-style" testing.

No, it's due to rqlite. rqlite does support a form of transactions -- you can send a set of SQLite statements, and either all will be successful, or none will be. You can even send a BEGIN statement, and a SQLite transaction will be

OK, how do you suggest I change the title? I'm open to a better one. I'm used to the casual use of "Jepsen" for this type of testing. But yes, there is also the case where Kyle does the testing himself -- and this is no

Full details on what the limits in rqlite may be, and why, are here: https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite/blob/master/DOC/PERFORMANCE... That said, very large datasets (> 2GB) will work, if you&#x2

You can go larger than 9, quite a bit larger. I just suggested 9 as a useful size. But the 7.x series introduced much better support for Kubernetes, so it's much easier now to manage larger clusters. But larger clusters mean a larger q

rqlite author here. Happy to answer any questions. Noting the title of this topic, rqlite is specifically designed to be easy to use. I know of no other HA database that is simpler to operate. Installation is trivial, and clustering is ea

rqlite author here. It's not quite what rqlite does. rqlite is a distributed database, and it uses SQLite as its storage engine. But it's not a drop-in, distributed, version of SQLite (but it's close, as SQLite is basically

Yes, that's correct. rqlite does statement-based replication, which means it has the limitation you outlined. This could be solved by parsing the entire SQLite statement passed into rqlite before it's written to the Raft log, but

rqlite author here. Good summary, I generally agree. rqlite installation is also very easy, thanks to Go. Single, statically-linked binary you can just drop on your machine. rqlite also has a really simple build process (another explicit go
