- SQLite is highly praised for its speed, reliability, and ease of use, making it ideal for low-latency applications.
- Using SQLite with Go is straightforward, with libraries like github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3 being widely used for its features and compatibility.
- The sqlitebp library introduces best practices for SQLite in Go, including WAL mode, foreign key enforcement, and optimized settings for performance and safety.
- Best practices include enabling WAL mode for high concurrency, enforcing foreign keys, setting a busy timeout, and using NORMAL synchronous mode for a balance between safety and throughput.
- Additional optimizations like private cache, page cache size management, and dynamic connection pooling are implemented to enhance performance.
- The library is new and open to feedback, embodying Cunningham’s Law to encourage community input for improvements.
- The author invites discussions on Bluesky for further engagement on Go and SQLite topics.
