BundledSQLiteDriver is a custom build of SQLite created by the Android Jetpack team to support Kotlin Multiplatform projects.
In this article, we will explore its architecture, features, performance improvements, and compatibility trade-offs. It’s especially relevant for developers looking to build cross-platform apps with unified database behavior and access to newer SQLite features.

In this post, I want to share the results of my performance tests on several implementations of the SQLiteDriver:

• Native SQLite drivers: AndroidSQLiteDriver, BundledSQLiteDriver
• WebAssembly SQLite Ahead-of-time (AOT) compiled and running on Chicory Embedder
• WebAssembly SQLite running on WebAssembly interpreters: Chicory and Chasm
