Congratulations to Ben! This project has been like a rocket ship.

I always thought that SQLite was kind of operating in stealth mode. Everyone was talking nicely about it, but it lacked a few things so it was a "super DB" but not in the "big boys league". And now it is taking off and the other DB's are saying "you here?", and SQLite goes "Yup, bye bye" ;-)

This is really useful and fun, thanks! Godspeed on this new part of the journey!

Thanks, Philip!

Hey Ben, any chance you can sit next to Chris McCord and get SQLite support in Phoenix :)

It already has it [1]. Native litestream that RPC's to the primary sounds interesting though!

wow! This has apparently been in Phoenix for over a year and I had no clue. Thank you! I'd have used SQLite over postgres on pretty much every project where I needed ecto.

Thanks - neither did I!

An akoutmos made a library for litestream: https://hex.pm/packages/litestream

Thank you Ben.

We have a small server[0], running since 2016, pushing a great amount of data incredibly fast, with BoltDB as backend. In the past two months we have been restructuring it to use SQLite, it will come online with more data in June. It looks like we are going to continue using your software... knowing first hand the quality of BoltDB, I will have no problems trusting your work with SQLite!
