I see that LiteFS cloud is discontinued. Can somebody tell me what the status of LiteFS is ? What is supported by Fly and what isn’t ? Can LiteFS be used independently of Fly ? What is the future of LiteFS itself ? Should I even be thinking about using LiteFS in our new project ? Thanks, Warren Bell ---

Hi… LiteFS itself (as opposed to LiteFS Cloud) is in a workable but not 100% polished state, in my opinion. Here’s the official view: > [@LiteFS discontinued?](https://community.fly.io/t/litefs-discontinued/23682/2): > > LiteFS hasn’t been discontinued but we’ve refocused effort towards other parts of the company so it’s been getting limited updates. There’s not a plan at the moment to do significant work on LiteFS at the moment as it’s been fairly stable for a while. Also, a fellow user has released a [replacement for LiteFS Cloud,](https://community.fly.io/t/litefs-backup-drop-in-replacement-for-litefs-cloud/22267) based on the original source code. > [@warrenbell](#): > > Should I even be thinking about using LiteFS in our new project ? It’s reasonable to consider! (I’m thinking of doing so, myself.) I would budget a bit of extra schedule for development and tinkering time, though. I.e., it’s more work and adjustment than just spinning up Postgres would be… > [@warrenbell](#): > > What is supported by Fly and what isn’t ? Basically nothing, unfortunately, at least as far as opening Support tickets, etc. (The same is true of the existing Fly Postgres, incidentally.) They recently spelled this out at the bottom of the Support page, although it’s a little easy to miss: [https://fly.io/docs/about/support/#scope-of-support](https://fly.io/docs/about/support/#scope-of-support) I suspect that serious bugs would get patched, however, on the basis of an open source project. > [@warrenbell](#): > > Can LiteFS be used independently of Fly ? Looks like it can! A different fellow user mentioned using it [in an IoT setting,](https://community.fly.io/t/connect-external-litefs-read-replica-to-primary-in-fly-io/21548) recently. Hope this helps a little… ---
