> It’s a simple, open-source tool that replicates a SQLite database to Amazon’s S3 cloud storage.
That was a very long walk to get to that second quote. And it makes the first quote feel deceptive.
Can you share a bit more about why you feel it's deceptive?
The point I was trying to make is that database servers are relatively complex and expensive. S3 is still a server, but it's static storage, which is about as simple and cheap as it gets for a remote service.
Was it that I could have been clearer about the distinction? Or was the distinction clear but feels like not a big difference?
