Open questions & limitations

  • Which pinned versions, topology and service tier fit the intended workload?
  • What are measured correctness, latency, recovery and total operating cost under that workload?

Applicability

Unpinned upstream documentation accessed 2026-09-14; pin engine, extension and service versions before use.. Application owns the database file, lifecycle and backup procedure; no separate database server..

Excludes: Runtime verification; Workload benchmarks and cost comparisons; Unlisted extensions, service tiers and deployment configurations.

Verification plan

  1. Pin the target configuration and define workload fixtures, access and budget.
  2. With authorization, test concurrent writes and recovery against explicit correctness expectations.
  3. For vector workloads, measure filtered recall against an exact-search baseline and record index settings.
