There are even distributed versions being built for reliability in the cloud: dqlite by canonical (of Ubuntu fame) and rqlite Given the complexity it seems like there are use cases or needs here that I'm not seeing and I'd be very interested to know more from those who've tried. Have you tried this? Did it go well? Or blow up? Were there big surprises along the way? - https://sqlite.org - https://dqlite.io - https://ift.tt/4krgfA7
