"Why would I use this, versus some other distributed database?
rqlite is very simple to deploy, run, and manage – in fact, simplicity-of-operation is a key design goal. It’s also lightweight and easy to query. It’s a single binary you can drop anywhere on a machine, and just start it, which makes it very convenient. It takes literally seconds to configure and form a cluster, which provides you with fault-tolerance and high-availability. With rqlite you have complete control over your database infrastructure, and the data it stores.
That said, it’s always possible it’s too simple for your needs."
