Graft is an open-source transactional storage engine written in Rust that turns object storage into a transactional system with lazy, partial, strongly consistent replication. It ships as a SQLite extension (VFS) with bindings for Python, JavaScript, Ruby, and Swift, plus an embeddable Rust crate.

Use cases

  • sync sqlite databases across devices offline-first
  • build edge applications with partial data replication
  • run stateless read replicas on object storage
  • replicate only the data a mobile client needs
  • add strong consistency to distributed sqlite deployments
  • turn s3-compatible storage into a transactional database backend

When to choose

  • you need offline-first or edge apps with on-demand, partial replication of SQLite data
  • you want instant read replicas backed by object storage without replay or recovery
  • you need serializable snapshot isolation across distributed clients
  • you want a lightweight storage client for mobile, embedded, or serverless environments

When to avoid

  • you need battle-tested production software - Graft is explicitly alpha quality
  • you need a full standalone database server rather than a storage engine/SQLite extension
  • your workload requires multi-master conflict resolution rather than strongly consistent replication
  • you need rich query features beyond what SQLite provides
