osquery has two RFCs related to backend infrastructure[1] and distributed queries[2]. Have you looked at their proposals? How do you think Envdb compares?
I'm curious about the choice of wrapping osquery instead of implementing a logger plugin[3]. Was it easier to implement and deploy as a wrapper?

However, I'm still trying to understand what the actual real-world use-case is for this tool. Can any of you enlighten me?
Also, zero unit tests makes me sad. The end product and codebase can be so much better when you start with a little testing.
2. Well, agree but when you're solo and doing it for fun.. getting it working is half the battle. I know my expectations for the app now and that makes it much easier to write meaningful tests. I must have redid the node/server setup 3 times.. writing tests for failed implementation just sounds like a poor use of time. Also, the project is 0.1.1.. thats super beta man.. give it time.
This could be a nice little alternative for fact finding on smaller deployments or for headless nodes.
