rqlite

You can find details on the design and implementation of rqlite from these blog posts.

rqlite was also discussed at th GoSF April 2016 Meetup. You can find the slides here.

Node design

The diagram below shows a high-level view of a rqlite node.

Log Compaction

rqlite automatically performs log compaction. After a fixed number of changes rqlite snapshots the SQLite database, and truncates the Raft log. This is a technical feature of the Raft consensus system, and most users of rqlite need not be concerned with this.
