SQLite

SQLite is a C-language library that implements a small, fast, self-contained, high-reliability, full-featured, SQL database engine. It is the zero-configuration choice for Laravel developers.

📁 Local Persistence​

Unlike standard container storage which is ephemeral, LaraKube ensures your SQLite data survives pod restarts:

  • Persistent Volume: Your database/database.sqlite file is stored on a Persistent Volume Claim (PVC).
  • Host Mounting: Locally, this maps directly to your project's database folder on your Mac or Linux machine.

🚀 When to use SQLite​

  • Rapid Prototyping: Start building without needing to wait for a database server to boot.
  • Small Applications: Perfect for sites with low to medium traffic that don't require the overhead of a full database server.
  • Testing: Easily reset your state by deleting a single file.

🔌 Connection​

You don't need a tunnel for SQLite!

  1. Open your project folder.
  2. Open database/database.sqlite directly with your preferred client (like TablePlus).
