Why Litebase?
The motivation and vision behind building Litebase, a distributed database powered by SQLite
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.
