As I was working on a side project, I noticed I wanted to use SQLite like a Document Database on the server. So I built Doculite. DocuLite lets you use SQLite like Firebase Firestore. It's written in Typescript and an adapter on top of sqlite3 and sqlite.

Reasons:

1) Using an SQL Database meant having less flexibility and iterating slower.

2) Alternative, proven Document Databases only offered client/server support.

3) No network. Having SQLite server-side next to the application is extremely fast.

4) Replicating Firestore's API makes it easy to use.

5) Listeners and real-time updates enhance UX greatly.

6) SQLite is a proven, stable, and well-liked standard. And, apparently one of the most deployed software modules right now. (src: https://www.sqlite.org/mostdeployed.html)

What do you think? Feel free to comment with questions, remarks, and thoughts.

Happy to hear them.
