  • datasette-upload-dbs 0.5a0 introduces a formalized API for uploading new SQLite databases or atomically swapping existing ones on a Datasette instance.
  • The plugin allows users to upload a brand new SQLite database to a hosted Datasette instance or replace an existing database with a more recent version, ensuring the /name endpoint serves the updated data.
  • The new API, demonstrated with a curl example, enables automated workflows such as building fresh databases in CI/CD environments (e.g., GitHub Actions) and deploying them to production Datasette instances as soon as the build completes.
