To help with the growth of rqlite, it’s been moved to a new repository, under a dedicated organization. Github made this transfer very easy.
I decided on a new logo too.

rqlite v2.2.1 released with HTTPS, Basic Auth, and user permissions
rqlite is a replicated relational database built on SQLite, with distributed consensus provided by the Raft consensus protocol. It gracefully handles leader election, and can tolerate machine failure.
Written in Go, v2.2.1 is out now.

rqlite at the San Francisco Go Meetup
I made a presentation on rqlite tonight at the San Francisco Go Meetup. It was an enjoyable evening, and I had a chance to discuss why I built rqlite, how it works, and where it might go in the future.
rqlite 2.0 released with configurable read-consistency
rqlite – replicated SQLite with new Raft consensus and API
rqlite provides robust replication for SQLite databases using the Raft consensus protocol. Coded in Go it ensures that all changes made to the leader SQLite database are replicated to all other nodes in the cluster, providing fault-tolerance and reliability.
It’s been 18 months since development of rqlite first started and it’s time for version 2.

rqlite and Hashicorp Raft Consensus
I’ve started replacing go-raft within rqlite with the implementation from Hashicorp. go-raft is no longer maintained, and I’ve good experience with the Hashicorp code, due to my work with InfluxDB and hraftd.
I’m also going to change the API, so it’s more useful. The existing implementation and API has been tagged as v1.0, so it’s still available.
You can follow the work on this branch, and I hope to merge it to master in the near future.
InfluxDB and the Raft consensus protocol
Building a distributed key-value store using Raft
Hashicorp provide a nice implementation of the Raft consensus protocol, and it’s at the heart of InfluxDB (amongst other systems). I wanted to experiment with a simple system built using this particular Raft implementation, so was inspired by raftd to built hraftd.

InfluxDB 0.9.0 released
The first version of the 0.9.0 series of InfluxDB has been released. It’s alpha-quality software but all of us on the InfluxDB team are very excited to see the software reach this stage.
You can read more about the release on this blog post.
Reviewing Elasticsearch Cookbook
I recently acted as one of the official technical reviewers for ElasticSearch Cookbook – Second Edition by Alberto Paro. Published by Packt Publishing, the book contains a large number of “recipes” for elasticsearch.
