    Discontinued LibSQL with extended capabilities like HTTP protocol, replication, and more.

  • For instructions on how to build sqld from source, see the docs.

  • popcorn-time

    Example application using libSQL's sqld + express + Vue.js (by glommer)

  • For this article, we’ll primarily focus on the libSQL-intensive portions of the demo and libSQL’s interaction with Express. For the full source code and a frontend client, visit or clone the GitHub repo.

  • 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.

  • libsql

    libSQL is a fork of SQLite that is both Open Source, and Open Contributions.

  • For a comprehensive view, check out the issues list for libSQL core and sqld. But mostly, I want libSQL to be a home for all builders who believe there is room to take a lean, mean, and SQLite-compatible embedded database to new heights. I’d love to see your contribution!
