Your app is faster with SQLite.
Now deploying it is too.
Local SQLite on disk, native binaries, zero downtime deploys, continuous backup, and object storage per project. All wired into a single git push workflow.
Built for apps that run as real servers
Serverlite runs your app as a normal stateful server with a local data directory, native binaries, and long running processes. The deploy ergonomics you expected from Vercel, for the kind of app you actually built.
Everything your app needs, wired together
SQLite on local disk
Your database lives on the same disk as your app. Queries at memory speed, full WAL, extensions, joins, and transactions, with the file you own sitting next to the process that reads it.
Native runtimes and binaries
better-sqlite3, ffmpeg, ONNX, OCR, Puppeteer, Pillow. Anything that runs on a normal server runs here, on Node, Bun, Python, Ruby, or PHP.
Zero downtime stateful deploys
A new container starts, passes health checks, and Caddy cuts traffic over. The /data volume is preserved throughout, so disk state survives every deploy.
Continuous SQLite backup
Litestream streams every SQLite commit to durable object storage. RPO measured in seconds. Snapshot and restore from the dashboard.
Object storage per project
Each project gets an S3 compatible bucket with scoped credentials, injected as environment variables. Ready to upload to from your app out of the box.
Push to deploy
Connect a GitHub repository. Push to a branch. Serverlite builds, deploys, runs migrations, and cuts traffic over. Backups and domains already wired.
Every layer your stateful app needs, built in
Five capabilities that define the Serverlite runtime, shown alongside platforms you might also consider.
Serverlite's Litestream replication to durable object storage is the SQLite durability path Fly.io now recommends after deprecating LiteFS. The difference: on Serverlite it ships by default. On Fly, every layer is manual.
