Looking at the LiteVFS repo, it appears so, with some limitations.

"LiteVFS is a Virtual Filesystem extension for SQLite that uses LiteFS Cloud as a backing store."

Limitations

- Databases with journal_mode=wal cannot be modified via LiteVFS (but can be read)

- Databases with auto-vacuum cannon be opened via LiteVFS at all

- VACUUM is not supported

Without modifying SQLite (what the Turso guys did), the WAL index is hard (but not impossible) to share across a network boundary. I'm guessing that's the why here. There's a hack that I'm pretty confident works, but I'm not sure how it behaves under latency (sure enough that I use it for Windows, and it hasn't caused issues running mptest thousands of times in CI over months).

Leaving it here, maybe Ben's interested.

A SQLite database that supports read-replicas and can offload cold data to object storage would be super useful.
