> [rqlite and dqlite] are focused on increasing SQLite’s durability and availability through consensus and traditional replication. They are designed to scale across a set of stateful nodes that maintain connectivity to one another.

Little nitpick there, consensus anti-scales. You add more nodes and it gets slower. The rest of the section on rqlite and dqlite makes sense though, just not about "scale".

Hey Phil! Also you're 100% right. I should use a different word than scale. I was meaning scale in the sense that they "scale" durability and availability. But obviously it sounds like I say they are scaling performance.

I've changed the wording to "They are designed to keep a set of stateful nodes that maintain connectivity to one another in sync.". Thank you!
