Rqlite v4.0 – With node-to-node encryption

In plain words

Rqlite is a distributed SQL database built on top of SQLite that enables multiple nodes to work together as a cluster. It's designed for developers and teams who need reliable data replication and fault tolerance without the complexity of traditional distributed databases. The latest version adds node-to-node encryption, securing communication between cluster members. The software is open-source and available on GitHub.
