Just to be clear, the underlying FUSE thing is LiteFS, not Litestream; nothing described in this post needs a FUSE filesystem, just a small SQLite VFS plugin library.

Thanks Thomas.

To just drop the relevant paragraph that addresses my un-clarity/in-correctness (and which is super fun to read):

> Litestream v0.5 integrates LTX, our SQLite data-shipping file format. Where earlier Litestream blindly shipped whole raw SQLite pages to and from object storage, LTX ships ordered sets of pages. We built LTX for LiteFS, which uses a FUSE filesystem to do transaction-aware replication for unmodified applications, but we’ve spent this year figuring out ways to use LTX in Litestream, without all that FUSE drama.
