rqlite started the distributed SQLite category in 2014
Why it matters for readers: Explains how a small open-source idea from 2014 grew into a recognised category in distributed systems.
- rqlite was published to GitHub in September 2014 as an open-source project that put a Raft log in front of SQLite.1
- The project aimed to replicate every write so losing a node would not mean data loss, making rqlite a CP system with leader writes and majority acknowledgment.1
- rqlite originally used goraft and later replaced it with HashiCorp’s Raft implementation in early 2016, which it still uses.1
- Over the following decade ‘distributed SQLite’ became a category with around a dozen projects, including venture-funded efforts and two acquisitions.1
