## Why run rqlite?
rqlite is your solution for a [rock-solid](https://www.sqlite.org/testing.html), fault-tolerant, relational database with **effortless installation, deployment, and operation**. It's ideal as a lightweight, distributed relational data store for both developers and operators. Think [Consul](https://www.consul.io/) or [etcd](https://etcd.io/), but with relational modeling available.
You can use rqlite for critical relational data in larger systems. And if you're interested in understanding how distributed systems actually work, it's a good example to study. A lot of thought has gone into its [design](https://rqlite.io/docs/design/), separating storage, consensus, and API clearly.
You can use rqlite to store your important data reliably, ensuring it's always available. If you're interested in understanding how distributed systems actually work, it's a good example to study. A lot of thought has gone into its [design](https://rqlite.io/docs/design/), separating storage, consensus, and API clearly.
### Key features
- **Easy Deployment**: Up and running in seconds, with no separate SQLite installation.
- **Developer-Friendly**: Straightforward [HTTP API](https://rqlite.io/docs/api/), [CLI](https://rqlite.io/docs/cli/), and [client libraries](https://rqlite.io/docs/api/client-libraries/).
- **Fully Replicated**: SQL database with [full-text search](https://www.sqlite.org/fts5.html) and [JSON support](https://www.sqlite.org/json1.html).
- **Large data set support**: rqlite works well, even when managing multi-GB data sets.
- **Dynamic Clustering**: Integrates with Kubernetes, Consul, etcd, and DNS for [automatic clustering](https://rqlite.io/docs/clustering/automatic-clustering/).
- **Robust Security**: [Extensive encryption and TLS support](https://rqlite.io/docs/guides/security/).
- **Flexible Consistency**: Customize [read/write performance](https://rqlite.io/docs/api/read-consistency/) and [durability](https://rqlite.io/docs/api/queued-writes/).
