NodeDB Lite replaces the usual SQLite + vector sidecar + ad hoc cache + custom sync layer stack with one embedded engine. Local reads stay in-process, writes remain available offline, and the same application code can later sync to NodeDB Origin without a rewrite.
48+
Agent memory and local-first data usually mean a pile of files, or a SQLite database with a vector sidecar, an ad-hoc cache, and a hand-written sync layer. NodeDB Lite is one embedded engine instead: durable, queryable memory in-process, available offline, with conflict-free sync to NodeDB Origin when you want it — and no rewrite to move from edge to cloud.

It's the engine behind **ma8e**, an in-development memory-and-knowledge layer for coding agents — deterministic capture, hybrid retrieval, and path-level access guards, all on embedded NodeDB Lite.
