One guy. One Navy ship. One file. 1 trillion databases.
He built it alone in 2000. And gave it away forever. ๐คฏ
Meet D. Richard Hipp ๐บ๐ธ
> American developer. Born 1961 in North Carolina.
> In 2000, working as a contractor on a US Navy destroyer.
> Got frustrated with bulky databases that needed servers and setup.
> Built SQLite in his spare time ~ a single-file database engine.
> No server. No installation. No configuration. Just one file.
> 25 years later, every iPhone, Android, Mac, and Windows PC runs SQLite.
> Powers Chrome, Firefox, Safari, WhatsApp, iMessage, Skype.
> Runs inside Tesla cars and commercial airplanes. ๐
> Over 1 trillion SQLite databases active worldwide today.
> Put the entire codebase in the public domain. Zero royalties forever.
> Trillion-dollar companies use his code. He's never charged a cent.
> Still maintains it full-time with a tiny team of 3.
> Pledged free support and updates until at least 2050.
> No VC money. No acquisitions. No spotlight. Just code.
Every app on your phone runs his invisible masterpiece.
Most engineers build for fame. He built for forever.
Database GOAT. ๐

Rancher longhorn is by far the worst storage option I have tested, highly unreliable, overly complicated and in the end plain poor performant. What a nightmare

If you use Salt SSH, read on.
I created an initial document that compares Salt SSH and Heist. The goal is to identify the gaps between what Heist can do and what Salt-SSH can do.
Comments are appreciated!
