Open source, not open contribution with Ben Johnson (Changelog Interviews #433) This week we're talking with Ben Johnson. Ben is known for his work on BoltDB, his work in open source, and as a freelance Go developer. Late January when Ben open sourced his newest project Litest... Changelog · changelog.com Ben Johnson was on the Changelog a few years back covering his work on litestream, and talks about why he chose to go open source, but not open contribution. You should have a good reason to move off of sqlite.
Why I Built Litestream - Litestream Despite an exponential increase in computing power, our applications require more machines than ever because of architectural decisions made 25 years ago. You can eliminate much of your complexity... litestream.io As applications scale to the edge, to put compute as close to the user as possible, database queries back to the master node get slower and slower. Enter sqlite replication, put the database wtih the application code and replicate from master.
I'm All-In on Server-Side SQLite Ben Johnson has joined Fly.io Fly · fly.io SQLite is the next big database trend. with more horizontal scaling, close to user read heavy applications, having your database in the same application stack makes a lot of sense. Tools like litestream are going to enable global distribution in an impressive way.

Pagefind Pagefind is a fully static search library that aims to perform well on large sites, while using as little of your users’ bandwidth as possible, and without hosting any infrastructure. Pagefind · pagefind.app Pagefind is absolutely insane. I’ve tried a number of static site searches, and found them all hard to get get going, clunky and not the best experience as a user or developer. I setup pagefind in about 2 minutes on my site where it found and indexed 833 pages in 2 minutes. The only downside I see so far is that it is a lot of bandwidth to the user. On simulated slow 3G you can definitly feel it, but not terrible. Anything slower and its going to start feeling frustrating. edit: I have actually fully deployed it on waylonwalker.com, and its fast! create the index Then I put this on a page, it looks really nice on a white background, but would need some work to drop into a dark theme.
