Really nice concept. I like the idea of using file system primitives to interact with structured data.

Brilliant. I wonder what limits we can hit with this setup. What if local postgres is installed and its data directory location is on TigerFS, what are the trade-offs here? Could placing SQLite file on TigerFS mount increase durability for Litestream setup? Is it possible to somehow run have TigerFS database storing data on TigerFS?
