  • Clace uses SQLite as the filesystem for storing app files. This has some advantages in terms of being able to store the file etag hash value, brotli compress the files, deduplicate files across apps (especially useful for preview apps which have lots of duplicate data) etc. Clace is also designed for very light footprint, thousands of apps can be installed on a server. Since apps are lazy loaded, the memory/cpu load on the system is minimal.

    Clace request routing is designed for Hypermedia driven apps. This makes HTMX driven user interfaces easy to build since the full page and partial request are automatically handled at the routing level. See https://github.com/claceio/apps/blob/main/utils/bookmarks/ap... for an example app.

    https://demo.clace.io/ has some demo apps, all running on a single Clace server instance.
