This SQLite obsession is getting quite ridiculous. Now they put it in "the Cloud." What a shitshow. I wonder whether they know what SQLite is for... when Cloudflare did it, well, it made sense at least. This new generation of SQLite caro-culting is beyond anything I've ever seen.

Tansu author here. Storage is a pluggable choice of: PostgreSQL, memory, SQLite or S3. There are others in the pipeline (SlateDB, ...).

Any chance of a Parquet compatible storage choice?

Yes: with a schema backed topic (AVRO, JSON or Protocol buffer) Tansu can write to Apache Iceberg, Delta or Parquet. You can use a Sink topic to write directly to an open table format (including Parquet) skipping (most of) the Kafka metadata.
