I’m building a local-first web app, and SQLite works well for my case since a single project can be contained in one database file, just like users are used to with existing desktop applications.

What I’d really like is an easy way to sync the SQLite database state to a cloud service. Most existing options expect you to query against a remotely hosted database and charge per read/write.

Since the database will have around 100,000 rows and you're typically working with all the data at once, streaming parts of it doesn’t make sense for my use case.

The closest I’ve found is Turso, which has offline writes in private beta, and SQLite Cloud, which lists local-first and offline sync as "coming soon."

The simplest approach might be letting users push to S3 storage with versioning. Ideally, it would also support point-in-time restores, tracking incremental updates alongside full snapshots.

Even better, I’d manage minimal server-side infrastructure and just pull the SQLite database from a service that handles syncing and management.
