SQLite is all you need for durable workflows | Hacker News

Hacker News users debated whether SQLite alone can make workflows durable, or if production systems need stronger backup and replication plans.

Critics said asynchronous replication can still lose recent writes, so simpler schemes like object-storage backups may be more reliable.

Supporters argued SQLite is a solid fit for single-node workloads and that true distributed durability needs external storage or another database node.

The discussion matters for AI and workflow apps weighing local simplicity against production-grade resilience.
