Embedded SQLite vs External etcd: Simplicity vs Scalability for Edge Deployments
Goal Determine the optimal data‑store strategy for a low‑resource edge node that must balance minimal configuration with resilience to data corruption. Constraints k3s offers two documented modes: embedded SQLite (default) and external etcd. SQLite stores all API objects in a single local file (k3s.db) and the process terminates if the file becomes corrupted
