SQLite in WebAssembly - A Glimpse into the Future of Shared Libraries

Explore the potential of WebAssembly (Wasm) and its impact on shared libraries in this conference talk. Discover how SQLite can be mirrored between browser tabs and the edge, enabling offline-first collaborative workloads. Learn about the development of a core library in Rust that embeds SQLite and a synchronization engine, while exposing an IO layer to the host. Understand how this IO abstraction facilitates compiling the library to Wasm and hosting it in different environments, such as browsers and durable edge functions. Gain insights into constructing sophisticated core libraries that can operate across various platforms, leveraging the benefits of Wasm's capability-based security model and flexibility.
