| +1. Love the cassette falling in place with the sound effect.
| Still don't know what it actually does though, but that is very

| This is very appealing. If the authors are reading:
|
| What is the architecture overview? Does each worker have a copy
| or do all of them work on the same DB files? How does it handle
| concurrent workers and db locking? Is SQLite native locking
| mechanism sufficient in this application?

| This is awesome. We've adopted a similar architecture with DO.
| Does it do data sync across devices? Offline first? Or is it all
| online thru DO and D1?

| Same here. I wonder if it's only broken for us or if it's

| I don't really understand what this is offering beyond
| Cloudflare's recent release of running SQLite in durable objects:

| The project is open source
| (https://github.com/Brayden/starbasedb/blob/main/src/index.ts).
| Yes to it provides a way to update Cloudflare's SQLite with
| HTTP.

| Cloudflare recently updated this:

| What is the difference between this and Cloudflare's first party

| D1 is SQLite

| Any comparison with Dzero?
