They don't have ACID guarantees with this setup.



ACID is typically used to describe single database instances and from that perspective, LiteFS doesn't change the ACID semantics that SQLite has. For distributed consistency models[1], it gets more complicated as LiteFS currently just supports async replication. We'll introduce stronger guarantees in the future although we currently provide some information such as transaction IDs so you can manage replication lag if you need stronger consistency.
