Sharing an SQLite database across containers is surprisingly brilliant

This comment from the GitHub project page is pretty important. Configuration data often sees slow change, and isn't huge so a custom approach seems viable. I wonder how close they are to that 100/s ceiling.

There's also an unmentioned transition to eventual consistency happening here:

That's could lead to more complex application logic or risk of confusing users with stale behavior. No free lunch here.
