Distributed SQLite for Go applications

It looks like a dependency of lxd, the successor to lxc, which is being developed by Canonical (of Ubuntu fame). You can see how they're using it in https://github.com/lxc/lxd/tree/master/lxd/cluster.

Dqlite and rqlite are not in the same space as postgres and mysql, they're more comparable to tools like Zookeeper, etcd, or Consul[0] - low throughput CP data stores that are generally used for coordinating distributed systems. In this case, it saves users from having to manage an external data store to run lxd clustered.

[0] in fact, dqlite uses the same raft implementation as Consul, which is cool

Just what the world needs, yet another would-you-like-my-version-of-clustering-with-that virtual environments tool...

Hopefully someone more acquainted with the ecosystem can respond, but docker is built on lxc, and it appears that the intention of lxd is to do something similar - provide a low-level tool for docker and related tools to use, with some extra tools and security guarantees.
