From the first of the description of the project on GitHub.

That sounds enterprisy to me.



I can see Consul feeling enterprise-y. If you want to distribute SQLite without downtime then you need to move the primary around and that requires leader election. We have Consul already running at Fly.io but I feel like a lot of folks have either Consul or etcd running for some part of their system out there so the idea was to be able to attach onto that.
