Are logs all you need for durable workflows? I'm confused here. How'd persist and query nested or related data over logs? By logs I assume you mean something like elasticsearch or meilisearch?

Pretty much every durable system has an intent log of some sort. The log provides durability, the database system just integrates that log into a more queryable format.
I swear it didn't occur to me that that mean WAL, makes much more sense now LOL

I assume they meant a log like a WAL. A WAL should be (quite literally?) all you need for durable workflows.
A distributed WAL (to survive a machine death) would also probably be something I'd want, and … something I'm not sure you're getting directly from SQLite.
Is it common to use logs as a proxy for write-ahead logs?
Folks this is meant to be an honest question, not a snarky comment. I'm not a DBA, I'm DevOps/SRE and logs for me always meant execution logs. I'm just curious if between those involved in database domain logs is used to refer to WAL.
I read the parents comment as sarcasm and not a serious suggestion.
Log as in the structure.
