New best story on Hacker News: Ask HN: Have you used SQLite as a primary database?
Ask HN: Have you used SQLite as a primary database?

I periodically hear about projects that use/have used sqlite as their sole datastore. The theory seems to be is that you can test out an idea with fewer dependencies (and cost) and that it scales surprisingly far. There are even distributed versions being built for reliability in the cloud: dqlite by canonical (of Ubuntu fame) and rqlite Given the complexity it seems like there are use cases or needs here that I'm not seeing and I'd be very interested to know more from those who've tried. Have you tried this? Did it go well? Or blow up? Were there big surprises along the way? - https://sqlite.org - https://dqlite.io - https://ift.tt/MbGJlqZ

Hey HN! Author of the site here. I tried a few tricks to keep the text-generation part of the site up, but even leaning hard on Huggingface's API and bumping time-outs up, it looks like the site is struggling a bit. I'm going to see if there's anything I can do to keep the text-generation part available, but in the meantime, the pre-generated set should stay pretty stable. Not sure if there's much else I can do without burning a hole in my cloud bills — sorry for the troubles! I've put up a more detailed description of how this works on the GitHub - https://ift.tt/l0fm8rp PS - if anyone at Huggingface is reading this and wants to help out with keeping the API up, that would be super :)
