Why I Built Litestream

Litestream is a tool that runs in a separate process and continuously replicates a SQLite database to Amazon S3. You can get up and running with a few lines of configuration. Then you can set-it-and-forget-it and get back to writing code.

You might think this sounds expensive to continuously write to cloud storage that provides 99.99% uptime and 99.999999999% durability but it's astoundingly cheap. Typical costs are only about $1 per month. Litestream is free and open-source too so there's never a license to pay for.
