LiteFS Cloud: Distributed SQLite with Managed Backups
Man this is cool. While I really enjoy my own solution of using a custom SQLite vfs that stores your db transparently in dynamodb[0], this really is a compelling alternative.
I wonder how viable this would be to use from aws lambda? It seems like the way lambda does concurrency probably doesn't play all that well with litefs. Maybe it's time to move some workloads over to fly.io.

Ask HN: What could a modern database do that PostgreSQL and MySQL can't
There's a bunch of projects that have implemented this. I wrote a SQLite VFS in Go that lets you query a read-only SQLite db over http (including from s3) [0].
The VFS API offers the possibility for weirder storage solutions, if thats the type of thing you're into. Recently I've been moving some of my personal websites hosted on AWS Lambda over to use a read/write sqlite db backed by DynamoDB[1]. There are a bunch of limitations to this type of thing (like it uses a global write lock), but it works nicely for DBs that have low write frequency.

Figma's Databases team lived to tell the scale
I see they don't mention Citus (https://github.com/citusdata/citus), which is already a fairly mature native Postgres extension. From the details given in the article, in sounds like they just reimplemented it.
I wonder if they were unaware of it or disregarded it for a reason —I currently am in a similar situation as the one described in the blog, trying to shard a massive Postgres DB.

PostgreSQL Is Enough
It is possible, if you pay for it. You can do Multi-AZ Clustered Instances in RDS, where you get the benefits of Multi-AZ failover with traffic sharing.
If you can run your own infra – at least on an EC2 level – you can do things like Citus [0] for Postgres, which is about as close to "just add database nodes" as you'll get.

So while searching for something like this for postgres I came across citus. Any one know how that stacks up?
