Bedrock is a distributed database server built by Expensify on top of SQLite, providing WAN replication, active/active automatic failover, and a private blockchain for cluster synchronization. It is modular with plugins for databases, job queues, and caches, serving as a data foundation for global-scale applications.

Use cases

• run a mysql alternative with wan replication across datacenters
• set up active/active database failover between regions
• build a globally distributed backend on sqlite
• replace mysql replication with a simpler distributed database
• run a job queue and cache backed by the same datastore
• deploy a geo-redundant database for a global-scale web service

When to choose

• you need multi-datacenter WAN replication with automatic failover
• you want SQLite performance with networked, distributed transactions
• you prefer few configuration knobs with sensible defaults
• you want database, cache, and job queue in one platform

When to avoid

• you need a widely supported database with a large ecosystem of drivers and tools
• you require complex SQL features or stored procedures beyond SQLite's capabilities
• you need multi-master write conflict resolution with rich data types
• your team cannot operate a less mainstream database
