rqlite is an easy-to-use, lightweight, distributed relational database, which uses SQLite as its storage engine. rqlite is simple to deploy, operating it is very straightforward, and its clustering capabilities provide you with fault-tolerance and high availability. rqlite is available for Linux, macOS, and Microsoft Windows. rqlite gives you the functionality of a rock solid, fault-tolerant, replicated relational database, but with very easy installation, deployment, and operation. With it you've got a lightweight and reliable distributed relational data store. Think etcd or Consul, but with relational data modeling also available. You could use rqlite as part of a larger system, as a central store for some critical relational data, without having to run larger, more complex distributed databases. rqlite uses Raft to achieve consensus across all the instances of the SQLite databases, ensuring that every change made to the system is made to a quorum of SQLite databases.

Features

  • rqlite uses Raft to achieve consensus across all the instances of the SQLite databases
  • Trivially easy to deploy, with no need to separately install SQLite
  • Fully replicated production-grade SQL database, with full access to SQLite full-text search and JSON document support
  • Production-grade distributed consensus system
  • Optional read-only (non-voting) nodes, which can add read scalability to the system
  • A form of transaction support
