Litebase

The open infrastructure layer for production-grade SQLite.

Litebase is an open source platform that brings a developer-first control plane to SQLite, enabling you to run, manage, and host SQLite databases with a Git-like workflow.

Core Features

• SQLite as a Service: Safe concurrent writes via queueing and enabled WAL mode.
• RESTful API: Execute SQL queries securely via HTTP.
• Developer-First CLI: Manage your local and remote databases seamlessly (litebase init, litebase link, litebase deploy).
• Branching & Snapshots (Upcoming): Git-like database branching and instant snapshot/restore functionality.

Architecture

Litebase is built primarily in Go within a monorepo structure:

• apps/data-plane: The core execution engine handling isolated SQLite instances, connection pooling, and write serialization.
• apps/control-plane: The cloud API managing users, projects, database provisioning, and API keys.
• packages/cli: The litebase command-line tool for local development and cloud interaction.
• packages/sdk-go: The official Go SDK.
• internal/: Shared Go packages across the planes.
