copycat VS absurd-sql

Check out https://www.snaplet.dev (I'm the founder). We do exactly this.

Testing with product workloads today? If you need to test with production workloads today, check out Snaplet and Postgres.ai. Both are great partners of Supabase.

It’s worth noting that being able to branch production data for testing easily doesn’t mean you should just do it. It poses a significant risk of leaking sensitive user data. You should consider using tools like Snaplet to transform and anonymize sensitive columns.

I think there are a lot of different reasons why people may want to use a service like bit.io, but if you want a database with data in it to code against, run tests against, reproduce production related data-bugs, and run e2e tests against then check out https://www.snaplet.dev.

For now, this is very experimental - but it has a lot of potential. If you want to get involved, please reach out to us or the team at [Snaplet(https://www.snaplet.dev/). The work they're doing over at Snaplet is incredible, and we've had a blast collaborating with them.

Not really, but I'm aware of absurd-sql. Note that this requires IndexedDB and thus a browser environment.

I don't need SQL capabilities, so I didn't look into those options (there's also absurd-sql, which ports sqlite to the browser on top of IndexedDB).

Ironically I was just about to drop in absurd-sql [1] to a project, which uses indexeddb to back SQLite. This seems better.

There is also absurd-sql that is sqlite3 in wasm using IndexDB as storage and it’s faster than IndexDB itself

Offline data: running it in the browser for an offline cache, similar to sql.js or absurd-sql.

We are very close to having WASM SQLite with persistence in the web platform. Until now SQLite compiled to WASM was in memory and you had to write the whole database out as a binary array to save changes. There is absurd-sql (https://github.com/jlongster/absurd-sql), which builds a virtual file system on top of IndexedDB for sqlite, its incredible, but a bit of an ugly hack.

However, the new file-access apis (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File_System...) that are landing in browsers will fix this. One of the things it does is enable very efficient block level read/write access to a privet sandboxed filesystem for the websites origin, perfect for persistent sqlite.
