Litebase is a new MIT-licensed database that combines SQLite's simplicity with distributed storage capabilities. Built in Go, it features a server component, distributed file storage with a structured log backend, a custom binary protocol (LQTP) for performance, and CLI tools. The project aims to solve common pain points around database complexity, cost efficiency, and scalability while maintaining SQLite's familiar interface. Currently in early release with core server and CLI components available on GitHub.
