Mobile-First Databases

SQLite on iOS (Core Data/GRDB), Android (Room/SQLDelight), and Flutter (sqflite/Drift) — offline-first architectures with cloud sync and conflict resolution.

Embedded & IoT

Edge data collection, local analytics, and firmware-integrated storage for IoT devices, medical instruments, and industrial controllers.

Offline-First Sync

Local SQLite databases with cloud synchronisation — CRDT-based conflict resolution, delta sync, and background upload strategies.

EMBED.

STORE.

SYNC.

DEPLOY.

Mobile Applications

iOS and Android apps with local SQLite storage for offline access, fast queries, and background cloud sync.

Desktop Software

Electron, WPF, and native desktop apps using SQLite for local configuration, caching, and user data.

IoT Devices

Sensor data collection, local buffering, and edge analytics on resource-constrained IoT hardware.

Prototyping

Rapid application prototyping with SQLite as a zero-setup development database before migrating to PostgreSQL or MySQL.

Our approach

Five stages,
paired end-to-end.

Predictable delivery. No black-box sprints.

Assess

Evaluate data requirements, access patterns, and platform constraints.

Design

Schema design, indexing strategy, and WAL mode configuration.

Integrate

Platform-specific integration — Room (Android), Core Data (iOS), or raw SQLite bindings.

Sync

Cloud synchronisation architecture, conflict resolution, and delta transfer.

Optimise

Query analysis, page size tuning, and memory-mapped I/O configuration.

Customer value

Six places it pays back in the first sprint.

Real outcomes our clients report within the first engagement cycle.

Faster time-to-market

Production-ready teams that ship from week one — no ramp-up lag.

Reduced technical risk

Architecture reviews, code audits, and security scans baked into every sprint.

Measurable velocity

Cycle time, PR throughput, and defect density tracked from day one.

Cost predictability

Fixed-price or capped T&M — no surprise invoices, ever.

Continuous improvement

Retros, post-mortems, and process refinement every sprint.

Knowledge transfer

Your team grows. Documentation, pair programming, and workshops included.

Technology

Tools our sqlite development
developers ship with.

Engagement models

Three ways to work
with our SQLite Development team.

Scale up, scale down — zero procurement headaches.

Fixed-scope project

Start-to-finish delivery with total cost, timeline, and scope agreed upfront. Best for well-defined builds and launches.

BEST FORNew product launches

Dedicated team

A ring-fenced squad — PM, tech lead, engineers, QA — fully managed by us, embedded in your workflow.

BEST FORLong-running platforms

Staff augmentation

Plug senior engineers into your existing team and tools. You manage priorities, we deliver results.

BEST FORCapacity gaps & sprints

FAQ

SQLite for embedded/mobile apps, single-user desktop apps, IoT edge storage, and development/testing. PostgreSQL for multi-user server applications, complex queries, and high-concurrency workloads. SQLite is an application file format, not a client-server database.

SQLite supports multiple concurrent readers with WAL (Write-Ahead Logging) mode, but only one writer at a time. For single-user or low-write applications, this is perfectly adequate. For high-concurrency server workloads, use PostgreSQL or MySQL.

We implement sync architectures using timestamp-based change tracking, CRDT conflict resolution, or tools like Turso/LiteFS. The strategy depends on your conflict model, data volume, and connectivity patterns.

Absolutely. SQLite powers every iOS and Android device natively. We use platform ORMs (Room, Core Data) for type-safe access, migration management, and reactive query observation.
