check the benchmarks here https://trailbase.io/reference/benchmarks/ its clear thats a lot of overhead on top of sqlite

I wouldn't be surprised if that's the performance issue. It seems to be used as in memory cache for all (?) collections and uses a mutex to access them, even on reads. Most (properly set up) databases are pretty good keeping things cached and with a local socket the latency is low. With this setup I'd be very careful to do my own general purpose caching. The solution here is likely very sub optimal.

  • Thanks this is very helpful, can you please look at the code more, specially around inserts and reads why its so slow?

    I am a lowly frontend developer who got into the SQLite hype due to twitter and DHH from Rails, didn't know how bad SQLite was.
