**💻📰 [Stop syncing everything](https://botlab.dev/botfeed/hn)** Graft, an open-source transactional storage engine, aims to simplify partial data replication while maintaining strong consistency, horizontal scalability, and object storage durability. It addresses the challenges of existing replication methods: logical replication's complexity in ensuring strong consistency and physical replication's inefficiency due to the need to sync all changes. Graft combines the simplicity of physical replication with the efficiency of logical replication, offering a solution for lazy, partial data synchronization. The engine was conceived during the development of SQLSync, a frontend-optimized database stack that utilizes SQLite and synchronization principles inspired by Git and distributed systems to enable multiplayer SQLite databases. Graft is designed to power interactive applications that require efficient and consistent data synchronization. The specific details on how Graft achieves this combination of simplicity and efficiency are not mentioned.
