This works the same as Amazon S3 but it’s easier to get started. By the end, you’ll understand the replicate and restore commands and be able to continuously backup your database. It assumes you’re comfortable on the command line and have Docker installed. ⏱ You should expect this tutorial to take about 10 minutes. https://litestream.io/tips/ Wed, 10 Mar 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://litestream.io/tips/ Running an application that uses SQLite and Litestream can require some small tweaks to optimize performance and usability. There are also some important caveats to know. Busy timeout SQLite is built to run as a multi-process embedded database and Litestream acts as just another process. However, Litestream requires periodic but short write locks on the database when checkpointing occurs. SQLite will return an error by default if your application tries to obtain a write lock at the same time. https://litestream.io/how-it-works/ Mon, 01 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://litestream.io/how-it-works/ Litestream is a streaming replication tool for SQLite databases. It runs as a separate background process and continuously copies write-ahead log pages from disk to one or more replicas. This asynchronous replication provides disaster recovery similar to what is available with database servers like Postgres or MySQL. Understanding the WAL SQLite has a journaling mode called “WAL” (write-ahead log) which writes database page changes to a separate -wal file first before later copying those pages back into the main database file. https://litestream.io/alternatives/ Sun, 17 Apr 2022 00:00:00 +0000 https://litestream.io/alternatives/ Overview Litestream aims to provide a balance between durability and operational complexity by batching changes into one-second windows and asynchronously backing those changes up to external storage. This improves write performance at the expense of having a small window of data loss in the event of a catastrophic failure. However, this tradeoff may not make sense for all applications. This page lists alternative approaches and when they might be appropriate. https://litestream.io/blog/ Wed, 10 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://litestream.io/blog/ https://litestream.io/docs/ Mon, 01 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://litestream.io/docs/ https://litestream.io/guides/ Mon, 01 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://litestream.io/guides/ Overview These guides provide instructions for running Litestream in production on different platforms.

If a binaries are not available for your operating system or architecture, you’ll need to build Litestream from source. Install on macOS Install on Linux Build from source https://litestream.io/reference/ Mon, 01 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://litestream.io/reference/ The Litestream command line provides several subcommands to help you manage replication & recovery of your databases. This reference provides details about the options available and different modes of operation. Commands The litestream commands are: litestream databases — Lists databases specified in config file. litestream ltx — List available LTX files for a database. litestream mcp — MCP server for AI assistant integration. litestream replicate — Runs a server to replicate databases.
