Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

rqlite is a distributed relational database that uses a testing strategy based on the testing pyramid. This strategy prioritizes comprehensive unit testing of individual components, followed by integration tests focusing on the interaction between Raft consensus and SQLite. A minimal set of end-to-end tests verify basic functionality, while performance testing pushes the database to its limits under heavy load.
