SQLedge: Replicate Postgres to SQLite on the Edge

https://github.com/zknill/sqledge

Summary: SQLedge is a GitHub project that replicates PostgreSQL databases to SQLite databases on the edge. It uses PostgreSQL logical replication to stream changes from a source PostgreSQL database to a local SQLite database, serving reads locally and forwarding writes to the upstream PostgreSQL server. This enables apps to run on the edge with fast, eventually consistent access to data. SQLedge is in alpha state and requires compatible SQL queries for both PostgreSQL and SQLite.
