rqlite - The lightweight, distributed relational database built on SQLite.

---

rqlite is a distributed relational database, which uses SQLite as its storage engine. rqlite uses Raft to achieve consensus across all the instances of the SQLite databases, ensuring that every change made to the system is made to a quorum of SQLite databases, or none at all. It also gracefully handles leader elections, and tolerates failures of machines, including the leader. rqlite is available for Linux, OSX, and Microsoft Windows.rqlite gives you the functionality of a rock solid, fault-tolerant, replicated relational database, but with very easy installation, deployment, and operation. With it you've got a lightweight and reliable distributed relational data store. Think etcd or Consul, but with relational data modelling also available.

Apache Derby - Relational Database implemented in Java

---

Apache Derby is an open source relational database implemented entirely in Java. It has a small footprint that makes it easy to embed in any Java-based application, but it also supports the more familiar client/server mode. It is based on the Java, JDBC, and SQL standards, making code developed more portable to standards-compliant databases.

express-starter - It's a hackathon-starter fork, but designed to use PostgreSQL by default (or MySQL)

---

A boilerplate for Node.js web applications, which use RDBS (relational database system) with prefered PostgreSQL instead of overhyped MongoDB. Project based on and inspired by Hackathon Starter.
