  • litestream

    Streaming replication for SQLite.

  • The best answer I know of to this question is Litestream - https://litestream.io/ - you can use it to inexpensively replicate a backup of your database up to an S3 bucket (or various other storage providers) to give you a very solid robust recovery option should you lose the disk that your SQLite database lives on.

  • SQLAlchemy

    The Database Toolkit for Python

  • And SQLAlchemy made the process of migrating from one to another quite simple too.

  • 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.

  • starghaze

    Save information about your GitHub starred repos into Google Sheets, Zinc, and SQLite!

  • Re: no ORMs - do you have any advice on how I could make this raw SQL insertion ( https://github.com/bbkane/starghaze/blob/54d255f524f8ef73384... ) more readable and less error prone? Right now I'm basically concatenating strings and hoping I don't misorder my parameters when I exec. 200 lines of this!! Am I doing raw SQL wrong?

  • slonik

    A Node.js PostgreSQL client with runtime and build time type safety, and composable SQL.

  • wp-sqlite-db

    A single file drop-in for using a SQLite database with WordPress. Based on the original SQLite Integration plugin.

  • There's a WordPress plugin that adds support for SQLite as an alternative to MySQL.

    Apparently it works really well. The implementation is (to my) simply astonishing: they run regular expressions against the SQL to convert it from MySQL dialect to SQLite! https://github.com/aaemnnosttv/wp-sqlite-db/blob/9a5604cce13...

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
