Data Store Integrations with Edilitics | High-Speed & Lightweight Source Connectivity
Modern analytics pipelines often require data from high-speed caches, embedded applications, or edge environments. Edilitics enables organizations to ingest such data through native integrations with lightweight and in-memory data stores, streamlining data access for real-time analytics, rapid prototyping, and mobile-scale data workflows.
This page outlines Edilitics’ support for Redis and SQLite as data sources, detailing how they fit into enterprise analytics architectures and how users can operationalize them across the Edilitics platform.
Why Data Store Integrations Matter
While traditional relational and warehouse systems dominate enterprise data infrastructure, data stores like Redis and SQLite serve critical roles in:
-
🔹 Capturing high-speed transactional data
-
🔹 Powering real-time dashboards and metrics pipelines
-
🔹 Enabling lightweight analytics at the edge
-
🔹 Supporting embedded and mobile applications
By integrating these systems into Edilitics, users can build more responsive and distributed analytics workflows without manual connectors, scripts, or data exports.
Supported Data Stores
| Data Store | Description |
| Redis | A high-performance, in-memory key-value data store used for caching, ephemeral analytics, and low-latency data access. Ideal for session tracking, counters, and fast-moving application state. |
| SQLite | A lightweight, serverless SQL database engine embedded in applications or devices. Ideal for mobile apps, local storage, IoT systems, and rapid prototyping. |
Operational Role in Edilitics Workflows
Both Redis and SQLite are supported as data sources within Edilitics. This means they can be used to ingest data into the platform for downstream processing—whether that’s replication, transformation, or visualization.
| Function | Supported | Details |
| Source (Extract) | ✅ Yes | Pull data from Redis or SQLite into Edilitics for real-time analysis or lightweight ETL workflows. |
| Destination (Load) | ❌ No | Not supported as destinations due to architectural limitations and storage constraints. |
Use Cases and Strategic Applications
🔸 Redis – Low Latency, In-Memory Data Ingestion
-
Real-Time Dashboards
Feed fast-moving metrics (e.g., active users, transactions, live counters) into dashboards via Redis.
-
Ephemeral Data Pipelines
Use Redis for temporary data ingestion and processing where persistence is not required.
-
Session & Stream Processing
Integrate Redis-stored session data or time-series streams into analytics workflows.
🔸 SQLite – Portable, Embedded, Lightweight Sources
-
Mobile and Edge Analytics
Extract user activity or sensor data from SQLite databases embedded in mobile apps or IoT devices.
-
Prototype to Production
Use SQLite as a staging environment for early data modeling, then transition workflows to more scalable sources.
-
Offline or Decentralized Workflows
Leverage SQLite when access to cloud databases is limited or when workflows run in disconnected environments.
Security & Governance
All data ingested from Redis or SQLite is protected by Edilitics' enterprise-grade data security framework:
-
🔒 Credential Encryption –
All connection details are encrypted at rest and decrypted only at runtime.
-
🧾 Audit Logging –
All data access, previews, and workflow interactions involving Redis or SQLite are logged under Audit Logs for traceability.
-
✅ Schema Extraction for SQLite –
Edilitics reads the embedded schema directly from the uploaded
.dbfile, ensuring accurate data typing and consistency across workflows.
Limitations & Best Practice Guidance
| Constraint | Detail |
| No write support | Redis and SQLite cannot be used as destinations within Replicate or Transform flows. |
| Data persistence | Redis is not designed for long-term data retention. For persistent storage, use supported databases or data warehouses. |
| Large file uploads | SQLite files are subject to Edilitics’ 100MB file limit. Compress or filter prior to upload when necessary. |
Built for Speed, Flexibility, and Edge Access
With native support for Redis and SQLite, Edilitics empowers teams to bring high-speed and local data sources into governed analytics workflows—without manual export or connector development.
Whether you're powering live dashboards with in-memory data or analyzing app data stored in embedded SQLite files, Edilitics enables you to do so securely, at scale, and with complete auditability.
