Kinda.

Besides that I'm just struggling to get ball.askemos.org
documented.  (short on resources)

Gives you yet another SQLite - however in with byzantine
replication.  Don't think of backups aver again.
I deploy it like this
http://ball.askemos.org/A26b5619be8d5e3348cca356acfc8efea/DevelopmentNetwork
sure it's an overkill to have nine hosts backup everything
I write into my diary or bug tracker.  But it's so simple.

For a shopping app it would be even better: due to the simplicity
of replication, you could run split it into two databases.
One for the actual shop and one, which has only the payment
info.  Keep them on distinct subnets.
