InfoQ: How Fly.io Replicates SQLite Globally in less than 1 Second

Ever wonder how to make SQLite scale across 800+ nodes in less than a second? Fly.io ditched old-school Consul and Raft for their own super-speedy Rust-based engine called Corrosion. It's all about making SQLite globally distributed!

They pull off this magic by using CRDTs to sort out data conflicts without needing a central leader and the SWIM gossip protocol to spread updates like wildfire across the cluster. It's a masterclass in building resilient, lightning-fast distributed systems without all the usual bottlenecks.
