My story is tied with Glover's as well. We both worked on Linux kernel. It feels like it was also like yesterday, but more than a decade ago, we were working with the Linux kernel. That's when we met. We joined a company to do an operating systems product, which then pivoted to something completely different, a database product. So me and Glover worked at ScyllaDB.

I think you've had their founder here as a guest as well. I did do real backend programming also before switching to working on databases themselves. So Java was a hot call technology at the time. That's the general introduction I usually give.

The tagline is SQLite for production. And basically what we're trying to do is bring the capabilities to SQLite. And for the audience that doesn't know what SQLite is, SQLite is an embedded database. It basically runs already everywhere on embedded systems. Like the claim is that it's the most deployed database on planet, which is probably true.

But if you look at more modern workloads, people doing serverless, even on mobile to some extent, there are things that are just missing from SQLite. And actually, I don't know how much you went through this with Glover on the Inception story, but Durso actually was a company doing something completely different in the beginning.

And we were heavy users of SQLite for a local development toolkit, essentially. And we wanted to do something like that. The thing was to build something like a managed service, essentially. And we were always thinking that we're going to get a proper SQL database to do it in production.

We quickly discovered that SQLite itself is pretty agile, worked really well, but it was just missing some features like replication, which we needed at the time. So that's the thing that we do. We built those features to SQLite to make it really awesome for modern production workloads.
