rqlite is a lightweight, open-source, distributed relational database written in Go, which uses SQLite as its storage engine.
Replicated, a company which helps software vendors ship software to end users, recently migrated from PostgreSQL to rqlite. Along the way their input substantially helped improve how rqlite runs on Kubernetes — and as a result rqlite 7.10.0 is out now. This latest release is also running an upgraded version of SQLite.

Nienke Eijsvogel, Ruben van Baarle and Daan de Graaf recently ran Jepsen-style testing of rqlite. Their tests showed that rqlite maintains linearizability of record insertion and modification, provided strong read consistency is enabled. Check out the full results on GitHub.
I recently had the opportunity to talk distributed systems and rqlite at the Hacker Nights NYC Meetup. It was great chance to speak with some folks, and discuss rqlite, its design, and how it operates.
The presentation is available, as is a video recording of the talk.
