SQLite

Sqlite 3.51.2 on Ubuntu 24.04 with Free maintenance support by Bcloud.

It is designed for lightweight applications and file-based relational storage. SQLite is an open-source, serverless database engine that stores all data inside a single disk file, making it portable, easy to maintain, and suitable for development, embedded workloads, and small-to-medium applications. These solutions are optimised to run reliably on AWS infrastructure and can be deployed instantly using AMIs.

SQLite Offering Available on AWS Marketplace

1. SQLite on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with Maintenance Support (bCloud)

It provides pre-installed SQLite on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS as a repackaged open-source solution, with additional support services available.

Key points

• The pre-installed SQLite engine in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS supports a serverless architecture (no database server process required)
• File-based database storage (single cross-platform file)
• Optional maintenance support for security updates and operational assistance
• Suitable for rapid deployment on AWS EC2

Core Technical Benefits of SQLite

Single-File Database Engine

SQLite stores the entire database in a file, which includes the schema, tables, indexes, and data. This design simplifies database portability and minimises operational complexity.

Serverless Architecture

With a serverless architecture, SQLite operates directly within the application process. There is no need to install or manage a separate database server, which reduces setup time and resource consumption.

Consistency and Reliability

Transactional consistency is maintained throughout its operations. SQLite includes strong transaction support for safe reads and writes, even in embedded and local storage workloads.

Lightweight and Resource-Efficient

SQLite is compact and optimised for environments where CPU and memory usage must remain low.

Developer-Friendly Integration

SQLite integrates smoothly with standard programming stacks:

• Python
• C/C++
• PHP

AWS Marketplace-Optimised Advantages

AMI-Based Deployment

SQLite is delivered via an Amazon Machine Image (AMI), allowing you to quickly launch a fully functional environment with a consistent configuration.

AWS EC2 Ready

SQLite workloads can run efficiently on EC2, supporting:

• development and testing
• internal application
• lightweight production services

Monitoring and Operations

Deployments can integrate with AWS tools such as:

• CloudWatch (instance-level monitoring and system metrics)
• Security Groups and VPC controls for network isolation

Consolidated AWS Billing

All charges are clearly displayed on the AWS bill, simplifying procurement and payment management.

Ideal Use Cases

SQLite on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is especially well-suited for:

• Embedded application storage
• Lightweight web applications
• Prototyping and development environments
• Internal tools and automation workloads
• Applications that require portable, local relational storage

All charges are clearly displayed on the AWS bill, making procurement and payment management easier.

Technical highlights for SQLite

• Serverless (no DB daemon)
• Single-file storage
• ACID transactions
• JSON1 extension
• Fast EC2 AMI deploy
• Works with EBS/S3 backups
• CloudWatch monitoring support
