Litestream is a standalone disaster recovery tool for SQLite databases. It runs as a background process and continuously replicates SQLite changes to another file or remote storage such as S3. The project is designed to make SQLite more practical for production apps that need simple recovery without operating a full database server. It communicates through the SQLite API, which helps reduce the risk of corrupting the database. Litestream is written mainly in Go and includes CLI tooling, Docker support, tests, documentation, and storage-related packages. It is useful for small services, embedded applications, and self-hosted systems that want lightweight replication and point-in-time recovery behavior.
