StarbaseDB is an open-source, scale-to-zero SQLite database exposed over HTTP and WebSockets, built on Cloudflare Durable Objects. It provides REST API endpoints, transactions, import/export, and a database GUI deployed as a Cloudflare Worker. The project is no longer maintained after Outerbase's acquisition by Cloudflare.

Use cases

• host a sqlite database on cloudflare workers
• query sqlite over http from the edge
• auto-generate a rest api for sqlite tables
• scale-to-zero database for serverless apps
• connect to sqlite via websocket with low latency
• import and export sqlite data as sql csv or
• replace a backend with a hosted sqlite api

When to choose

• you deploy on Cloudflare Workers and want embedded SQLite storage with HTTP access
• you need a quick REST API over SQLite without writing backend code
• you want a scale-to-zero database with pay-per-use edge pricing

When to avoid

• you need long-term maintenance, updates, or security patches - the repo is archived and unmaintained
• you need heavy write throughput or multi-region write consistency
• you want to avoid vendor lock-in to Cloudflare Durable Objects
