Who's using Litestream in production?

If you are using Litestream in your production environment, would love to hear from you about your experience.

This should probably be converted to a discussion, but I'm using Litestream on two projects that run in production (albeit with small user bases):

• What Got Done (source)
• LogPaste (source)

And I know tars.run uses Litestream as well:

• tars.run (source)

It's worked well for me. The only gotcha I hit was that Litestream was bloating my backend storage pretty quickly on one app. My SQLite DB was only 3 MB, but my backend storage grew to 130 MB in a few hours of running the app under Litestream.

I think it's because I had a scheduled job that was performing many SQLite INSERTs (600 transactions every 5 mins), so I re-engineered the app to get rid of those. I just did it this morning, so we'll see if it slows the storage bloat.

It looks like the folks at @tailscale are using Litestream (Source/Transcript).

@bnjmnt4n - Cool! For anyone searching the transcript, you have to search for "LightStream" because of transcription error. Discussion starts at 52:21.
