Richard Hipp discusses the design choices and rigorous development and testing practices that make SQLite exceptionally reliable.
Abstract: SQLite is a C-language library that implements a self-contained, in-process relational database engine supporting full-featured SQL, an advanced query planner, and ACID transactions. By many estimates, SQLite is the most widely used software library in the world today. Over its 26-year history, SQLite has gained a reputation as software that "just works". This talk goes over the design choices and development practices that have, at least in the opinion of the lead developer, resulted in that reputation. --- Richard Hipp: hwaci.com/drh SQLite: sqlite.org Slides: sqlite.org/u/ssw6 Software Should Work: softwareshould.work Thank you to our Software Should Work 2026 sponsors: Antithesis: antithesis.com RWX: rwx.com Paytient: paytient.com Redbud VC: redbud.vc ParadeDB: paradedb.comWhy it's here
