Marmot

Marmot is a distributed database system that replicates SQLite across multiple nodes using a gossip-based protocol. It eliminates single points of failure by allowing any node to accept writes, with eventual consistency and automatic recovery from split-brain scenarios. The system speaks the MySQL wire protocol, so existing MySQL clients and tools work without modification.

Key capabilities include distributed transactions with conflict detection, schema replication across clusters, change data capture for consistent replication, and built-in vector search for RAG workloads. The maker reports building it with Claude Code, and demonstrates WordPress running successfully on a distributed cluster.
