Description

Summary

Add an optional SQLite backend for local development and testing without AWS or Docker dependencies.

Motivation

  • Zero infrastructure for local dev
  • Fast tests without moto/LocalStack
  • Works offline
  • Great for demos and quick prototyping

Usage

from zae_limiter import RateLimiter
from zae_limiter.backends.sqlite import SQLiteRepository

# File-based (persists across runs)
repo = SQLiteRepository(path="./rate_limits.db")
limiter = RateLimiter(repository=repo)

# In-memory (fast tests)
repo = SQLiteRepository(path=":memory:")
limiter = RateLimiter(repository=repo)

Limitations

  • Single-process only (no distributed coordination)
  • Not for production use
  • May give false confidence about production behavior

Dependencies

  • #150 - Repository Protocol extraction (must be completed first)

Acceptance Criteria

  • SQLiteRepository implements RepositoryProtocol
  • Supports all entity/bucket operations
  • Cascade support
  • Thread-safe for sync wrapper
  • Optional dependency: pip install zae-limiter[sqlite]
  • Clear documentation that this is for local dev only

Research direction

Start with the Repository Protocol extraction in issue #150, then trace the RepositoryProtocol entry point and the existing backend operations before designing SQLiteRepository. Verify entity and bucket operations, cascade behavior, and thread-safe sync use with in-memory and file-backed SQLite. Done means the optional sqlite dependency works and the documentation clearly limits this backend to local development and testing.
