Marmot is a leaderless, distributed SQLite replication system built on a gossip-based protocol with distributed transactions and eventual consistency. It exposes a MySQL wire-compatible interface so existing MySQL clients, drivers, and applications like WordPress can connect without modification.

Use cases

• run a distributed WordPress with a replicated database across regions
• deploy lightweight SQLite replicas as edge or Lambda sidecars with local reads
• use it as an edge vector database for RAG with built-in ANN search
• serve regional configuration data with fast local reads and replicated writes
• geo-distribute product catalog data with eventual sync
• connect existing MySQL clients and ORMs to a SQLite-backed cluster

When to choose

• you need read-heavy, geo-distributed SQLite with no single point of failure
• you want MySQL client compatibility without running a full MySQL cluster
• you want automatic split-brain recovery and no leader election or failover coordination
• you need tunable consistency (ONE/QUORUM/ALL) balancing latency and durability
• you want local vector search for RAG workloads on replicated data

When to avoid

• you require strong serializability or strict consistency guarantees
• you need heavy write throughput across regions rather than read-heavy workloads
• you rely on advanced MySQL features not supported by the MySQL-to-SQLite transpilation
• you need a mature battle-tested distributed SQL database like CockroachDB or Spanner
