Introducing Litebase

Today, I’m extremely excited to announce Litebase. An MIT licensed open source database that is powered by SQLite and distributed storage. What started as a simple idea has now taken shape into a real endeavor that I feel is worth sharing with all of you ...

What's coming?

A lot of exciting things are on the way. Here's a sneak peek.

Litebase Server

A lightweight database server that runs standalone or in a cluster, increasing read scale with replicas and SQLite over HTTP.

Litebase DFS

Distributed file storage that tiers data across storage classes and introduces a new backend model called the Structured Log.

Litebase Query Transfer Protocol

Blurs the line between local and remote execution with an asynchronous, binary streaming protocol for SQL queries.

Security

Strong protection for your databases using access keys and fine-grained controls built to limit both humans and machines.

SDKs

Connect to Litebase clusters from your language or framework of choice with simple, consistent APIs.

CLI

Create databases, manage branches, update settings, and issue credentials all from a simple developer-friendly interface.

Database Branching

Create isolated copies of your database to test, debug, or experiment in different environments.

Backups & Restore

Full and incremental backups to object storage, with support for point-in-time recovery.

Compression & Encryption

Reduce your object storage footprint and protect data at rest using user-defined, server-side encryption keys.
