Introducing LiteFS

Fly.io introduces LiteFS, an open-source distributed file system for SQLite designed to improve latency and simplify web app development. The tool allows developers to run full-stack applications on SQLite, which is often overlooked in favor of more traditional databases like Postgres or MySQL. By leveraging the advantages of SQLite's design, LiteFS aims to offer the best of both n-tier database designs and in-core databases. The tool supports features such as WAL-mode support, write forwarding, S3 replication, and encryption for enhanced security.
