- Litestream is an open-source tool for real-time SQLite database backups to cloud storage.
- Development paused for nearly two years in favor of LiteFS but resumed with version 0.5.0.
- Migration to Litestream 0.5.0 requires changes due to new backup format and configuration file updates.
- Official Docker image now available, simplifying container setup.
- Testing Litestream 0.5.0 revealed issues with Backblaze uploads and missing flags like `-if-replica-exists`.
- Encountered critical errors during restore operations, including transaction availability and directory creation issues.
- A custom fork with fixes was required to successfully deploy Litestream 0.5.0.
- Recommendation to wait for future releases due to unresolved serious bugs in 0.5.0.
