A sqlite extension that provides a virtual table backed by an Automerge document (https://automerge.org/).

I believe that there are plenty of applications that could benefit from the collaboration or sync-ability that CRDTs* provide, but that don't need to manage the CRDTs directly. Moving the CRDT management into the database seems like a natural fit.

It's very early, and not public anywhere, but I'd be happy to chat about it if anyone has any thoughts or questions.

Looks like we overlap somewhat https://github.com/gritzko/librdx

I had some success embedding CRDT into LSM databases. Those are built around merge operators.
