On August 24, 2026, developer Simon Willison proposed a new software architecture concept in his blog post. He advocated transforming traditional executable files into structures based on the SQLite database. This approach suggests that by integrating program logic and data storage into a single SQLite database, deployment processes can be simplified, resource consumption reduced, and maintenance efficiency improved. The article did not provide specific technical implementation details or performance test data; it merely outlined the core idea of this concept and its potential advantages.

Your executable is a SQLite database

Farid Zakaria 描述了一种将 SQLite 数据库文件直接用作可执行二进制文件的 Linux 模式。该技巧通过将 SQLite 文件格式第 68 字节处的 4 字节应用 ID 设置为 SELF(代表 Structured Executable & Linkable Format),并将 ELF 可执行文件格式的各个组件排列成多个不同表来实现。其自解释器(C 代码)可提取并执行必要部分,还可利用 binfmt_misc 机制让内核识别并执行匹配该模式的二进制文件。Farid 在此使用了 NixOS,若无 NixOS,注册过程类似:printf '%s\n' ':self:M:68:SELF::/usr/local/bin/self-exec:' > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/…
