Big companies use SQLite behind the scenes
Less maintenance sure sounds great to me. Think about databases like Postgres and MySQL. They're a whole different ballgame. You need to be an expert to maintain and manage these systems. As they grow, they present their own scaling challenges. With SQLite, though, that hassle is gone. No more dealing with extra systems. It becomes cheaper to own, simpler to deploy, and uptime and operations get better. And you know what else? SQLite's performance is top notch. Nowadays, most parts of it can run directly in memory, apart from the bits that access a file on disk. It's quick, it's rapid, it's performance is stellar. Depending on the data volume of your application and what your product needs, SQLite is likely to be your best bet. From a business viewpoint, cutting down on complexity and cost is a big win. That's why we're seeing lots of big companies using SQLite behind the scenes and rebranding it. If you import SQLite libraries directly into your application as an embedded database, you'll be able to leverage its capabilities too.
