Now Open to Free Signups SQLite is magical. S3 is cheap. I combined them. LiteLoft is a hosted database service built on distributed-sqlite — SQLite backed by S3, with a full provisioning layer, auth, and monetization baked in. Why this exists I was already running SQLite on S3 with Litestream for a production app. Then I built distributed-sqlite — a SQLAlchemy dialect that treats S3 as the storage layer with concurrent write support.
