SQLite Replication with Beamer

SQLite is an increasingly popular choice for powering Rails applications. It’s fast, simple to use, and has an impressive feature set. But without a conventional database server, scaling beyond a single application server can be challenging.

Beamer is a lightweight replication tool for SQLite, designed to make it easy to add read-only replicas to your writable databases. In this talk, we’ll cover how Beamer works and how you can use it to build multi-server, geographically distributed SQLite-based Rails applications.
