Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

SQLite FTS5 Faster Than Redis Full-Text Search
I'm a big fan of FTS5 as a cheap/easy way of adding full text search to datasets.
Recently I've been storing these datasets in S3 and been querying them directly via a VFS[0]. Its a simple way to have FTS available to lambda functions without the cost of using an online database.

Ws4sqlite: Query SQLite via HTTP
You can also access sqlite databases directly from an http server that supports range requests (like s3). There are a bunch of implementations of this in different languages including Go[0] and Javascript[1].

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.

Show HN: SQLite-S3-query – Python function to query a SQLite database on S3
I just implemented something similar in Go[0]. Just yesterday I added the ability to compile it as a loadable sqlite3 extension, so you can use the normal sqlite3 cli tool to query databases hosted on an http(s) connection.

Ask HN: SQLite in Production?
I have not, but I keep meaning to collate everything I've learned into a set of useful defaults just to remind myself what settings I should be enabling and why.
Regarding Litestream, I learned pretty much all I know from their documentation: https://litestream.io/

How (and why) to run SQLite in production
This presentation is focused on the use-case of vertically scaling a single server and driving everything through that app server, which is running SQLite embedded within your application process.
This is the sweet-spot for SQLite applications, but there have been explorations and advances to running SQLite across a network of app servers. LiteFS (https://fly.io/docs/litefs/), the sibling to Litestream for backups (https://litestream.io), is aimed at precisely this use-case. Similarly, Turso (https://turso.tech) is a new-ish managed database company for running SQLite in a more traditional client-server distribution.

Ask HN: Time travel" into a SQLite database using the WAL files?
I've been messing around with litestream. It is so cool. And, I either found a bug in the -timestamp switch or don't understand it correctly.
What I want to do is time travel into my sqlite database. I'm trying to do some forensics on why my web service returned the wrong data during a production event. Unfortunately, after the event, someone deleted records from the database and I'm unsure what the data looked like and am having trouble recreating the production issue.
Litestream has this great switch: -timestamp. If you use it (AFAICT) you can time travel into your database and go back to the database state at that moment. However, it does not seem to work as I expect it to:
https://github.com/benbjohnson/litestream/issues/564
I have the entirety of the sqlite database from the production event as well. Is there a way I could cycle through the WAL files and restore the database to the point in time before the records I need were deleted?
Will someone take sqlite and compile it into the browser using WASM so I can drag a sqlite database and WAL files into it and then using a timeline slider see all the states of the database over time? :)

Ask HN: Are you using SQLite and Litestream in production?
We're using SQLite in production very heavily with millions of databases and fairly high operations throughput.
But we did run into some scariness around trying to use Litestream that put me off it for the time being. Litestream is really cool but it is also very much a cool hack and the risk of database corruption issues feels very real.
The scariness I ran into was related to this issue https://github.com/benbjohnson/litestream/issues/510

Pocketbase: Open-source back end in 1 file
Litestream is a library that allows you to easily create backups. You can probably just do analytic queries on the backup data and reduce load on your server.

Why you should probably be using SQLite
One possible strategy is to have one directory/file per customer which is one SQLite file. But then as the user logs in, you have to look up first what database they should be connected to.
OR somehow derive it from the user ID/username. Keeping all the customer databases in a single directory/disk and then constantly "lite streaming" to S3.
Because each user is isolated, they'll be writing to their own database. But migrations would be a pain. They will have to be rolled out to each database separately.
One upside is, you can give users the ability to take their data with them, any time. It is just a single file.

Monitor your Websites and Apps using Uptime Kuma
Upstream Kuma uses a local SQLite database to store account data, configuration for services to monitor, notification settings, and more. To make sure that our data is available across redeploys, we will bundle Uptime Kuma with Litestream, a project that implements streaming replication for SQLite databases to a remote object storage provider. Effectively, this allows us to treat the local SQLite database as if it were securely stored in a remote database.
