rqlite is a lightweight, distributed relational database, which uses SQLite as its storage engine. rqlite provides a easy-to-use, fault-tolerant store for critical relational data.
This release includes integration with a new Discovery Service, allowing nodes to automatically connect and form a cluster. This can be very convenient, allowing clusters to be dynamically created. Check out the documentation for more details.
See the CHANGELOG for full details.
