  • Replibyte

    Seed your development database with real data ⚡️

  • Fun to see that we share some very similar ideas with Replibyte - an open source tool to seed a dev database with real data. https://github.com/Qovery/replibyte

  • sqlite-backup

    Simple solution to perform regular SQLite3 backups and remove older ones

  • May I chime in with a project around more or less the same idea and use cases. https://github.com/efrecon/sqlite-backup. I am pretty sure there are dozens of similar-but-not-quite projects on GitHub/gitlab/etc.

  • InfluxDB

  • litestream.io

  • Thanks for catching that! I fixed it up in a PR and merged in: https://github.com/benbjohnson/litestream.io/pull/55

  • Gladys

    A privacy-first, open-source home assistant

  • Don't forget to stop writing to the database while doing the backup, otherwise you can run into an infinite loop if you write faster than sqlite3 .backup is doing the backup :D

    Learned that the hard way when implementing sqlite3 backups on Gladys Assistant ( open-source home automation platform https://github.com/GladysAssistant/Gladys )

  • Healthchecks

    Open-source cron job and background task monitoring service, written in Python & Django

  • 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.
