rqlite is a lightweight, distributed relational database, which uses SQLite as its storage engine. rqlite provides an easy-to-use, fault-tolerant store for critical relational data.
Release 6.4.1 enforces a reasonable timeout for certain intracluster communications. See the CHANGELOG for full details on this release.

Windows
rqlite can be built for Windows, and Windows compatibility is ensure via AppVeyor. However you may need to build a specific release yourself, though the top-of-tree build is available for download from AppVeyor. Check out the CI build for Windows for more details. Please note that I do not control the build process in AppVeyor and you download and use those binaries at your own risk.
