  • litestream

    Streaming replication for SQLite.

  • then there is https://github.com/benbjohnson/litestream

  • litefs

    FUSE-based file system for replicating SQLite databases across a cluster of machines

  • Litestream is one-way replication, so it can't sync across multiple writers.

    LiteFS is Ben Johnson's newer project that does SQLite synchronization across nodes: https://github.com/superfly/litefs

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • rqlite

    The lightweight, distributed relational database built on SQLite.

  • rqlite author here -- happy to answer any questions. While rqlite[1] does replicate a SQLite database, it's not simply a replication system (just to be clear). It's a distributed database that uses SQLite as its database engine, and replicates for fault tolerance. That said, it mostly exposes SQLite via its HTTP API, so can work for many SQLite applications[2].

  • xrc4

    eXtended RC4

  • Looks like it uses a homemade version of RC4 (mentioned here https://litesync.io/en/licensing.html):

    Many have discouraged the use of RC4 for its weaknesses. But why not enhance it? Or create another algorithm based on it?
