A Database for 2022

• litestream

  170 11,143 4.7 Go

  Streaming replication for SQLite.

  They're using litestream [1] to replicate a SQLite database, which streams additions to the SQLite WAL file to object storage and can replay it back. This is fairly hands-off from SQLite's perspective. There's also the recently released Session Extension [2] that builds some of this functionality directly into sqlite.

  > We’re going to put everything in a single file on disk again.

  For most small scale projects I'm just reading and writing lines to a file on disk. Sure, I could over-engineer some database, or I could get a minimal viable project off of the ground and worry about scaling later. Most projects run into issues long before scalability.

  I found myself recently wanting a lightweight key-value store for random structures. For this purpose, I created a toy single-file key-value store [1] in less than 256 lines of C. It's not quite ready for prime time, but it's incredibly easy to use.

  > One activity question for HN: why do you think Dropbox continues to exist today while copycats like Barracuda Copy have failed?

  FWIW, i've been using Dropbox since practically the day they went online, and have been a subscriber for all but the first few months of that time. They've never once failed me, never been offline when i needed them, never lost anything, they created a Linux sync client out of the box (whereas Google first claimed the would make GDrive for Linux but never did), and it's easy to manage via multiple interfaces (mainly their own web UI and https://rclone.org's tool, which can proxy your dropbox behind an add-hoc FTP server running in your LAN).

  They're extremely pricey compared to the same storage in GDrive, but Dropbox has never let me down so i'm in no hurry to drop them.
