  1. Thanks, I have been following your rqlite blogs for some time, and enjoyed them. I was previously using litestream for this.I am planning to deploy rqlite instead of postgress. With Kubernetes first approach rqlite makes a compelling choice. I do have a question. For what workloads, do you think, I shouldn’t use rqlite.

    1. That is a very broad question. One thing I would say is that rqlite is not explicitly designed for very large data sets (multi GB) so you need to be aware of that. Also rqlite is not a drop-in replacement for SQLite, so will not work the same way as litestream.

      I would take a look at the rqlite FAQ: https://rqlite.io/docs/faq/
