SQLite

Litestream & Postlite are neat. Like using deno_sqlite for scripts that query SQLite. SQLite, Rusqlite, Rusqlite Migration are great SQLite libs for Rust. sqlc is nice for Go. GRDB is nice for Swift.

I use SQLite for whenever I need an embedded database. Local apps etc. It works great for local first architectures like Replicache & Logux. If I don't need the embedded factor, I prefer using EdgeDB. Want to try using ws4sqlite.

Simple-Graph seems like a nice graph db plugin for SQLite. sqlite-zstd is amazing for compression.

Notes

• SQLite can import CSV data directly. Start sqlite, then: .mode csv .import some_data_file.csv your_table_name
• SQLite now has first class support for JSON.
• SQLite has amazing full text search
• SQLite is getting more popular because: 1. embeddable at the edge (WASM, etc.). 2. Easy connection pooling for serverless (flatfile). 3. Embeddable at the runtime (browser, -as-a-library, etc.). 4. NFS getting faster, so easy and cheap alternative for blogs, etc.
