  • mvsqlite

    Distributed, MVCC SQLite that runs on FoundationDB.

    Came over this article as I was looking for interesting resources in the SQLite ecosystem. I'm building mvsqlite (https://github.com/losfair/mvsqlite), as an attempt to turn SQLite into a proper distributed (not just replicated) database. Check it out if you are looking for this kind of stuff!

  • rqlite

    The lightweight, distributed relational database built on SQLite

    I presume you're familiar with https://github.com/canonical/dqlite (made by my employer) and https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite (unrelated)? How will mvsqlite compare to those?

  • InfluxDB

  • dqlite

    Embeddable, replicated and fault tolerant SQL engine.

    I presume you're familiar with https://github.com/canonical/dqlite (made by my employer) and https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite (unrelated)? How will mvsqlite compare to those?
