About Litestream
Litestream continuously streams changes from a SQLite database to cloud object storage or local files. If a server fails, the database can be recovered to the most recent replicated transaction.
It runs as a separate process next to an application, so existing programs can use it without code changes. This suits developers and small teams who want to run a SQLite-backed application on a single server while keeping an off-site copy of the data at low storage cost.
