I really like the design of this website. It's simple, information-rich, fast, and doesn't contain a ridiculous number of images or dynamic components. It's a shame that I can only say this for a select few websites these days.

Much of Canonical's recent developer-facing work uses a similar style: https://microk8s.io/, https://multipass.run/, https://cloud-init.io/ ...

I was going to ask what is the difference between this and rqlite, which also uses Raft.

Found the answer on Reddit:

> rqlite is a full RDBMS application, but dqlite is a library you must link with other code. It's like the difference between MySQL and libsqlite3.so.

I was reading through the docs and this FAQ is worth checking out: https://github.com/canonical/dqlite/blob/master/doc/faq.md

In includes an answer about the difference with rqlite.

To me reading the docs it seems like dqlite has been developed by the team who develops LXD at Canonical as LXD is listed as the biggest user of the project and it says on the authors github that he works at Canonical at/with LXD/LXC.

Interesting project, good luck to the author/authors if you read this!
