Challenges in Developing Reactive Databases

In the quest to enhance local-first software, challenges arose in developing reactive databases with SQLite in the browser. Handling extensions, transactions, and updates posed significant hurdles. Issues such as transforming C code into Rust to improve performance, synchronizing transactions, and optimizing IndexedDB integration were key obstacles. Maintaining reactivity in SQLite, ruling out memory-intensive operations, and navigating transaction controls were among the complex challenges faced.
