About:
LibSQL is a fork of SQLite designed to support modern distributed applications. It enhances the classic embedded database with features like replication and remote access, enabling a seamless transition from local development to cloud deployment. This allows developers to leverage SQLite's simplicity while gaining the scalability and flexibility required for edge computing.

Key Features:

Embedded database with a serverless option
Built-in replication for distributed systems
Drop-in replacement for SQLite with a compatible API
Support for remote database connections

Use Cases:

Building edge-native applications that require low-latency data access
Developing applications that need a simple local database that can scale to the cloud
Creating offline-first applications with seamless data synchronization

Alternatives:

SQLite – The upstream project; LibSQL adds replication and remote access features not present in standard SQLite.
PostgreSQL – A full-featured server-based database; LibSQL offers a lighter-weight, embedded-first approach.
