    Thank you for the thoughtful response.

    I was looking at https://github.com/irskep/cheapo_website from commenter irskep above, and they make a nice point that render.com has automatic daily backups, solving 4)

    However, in another comment they mention "You can't(?) run migrations from another process" and that "people don't talk about the completely ordinary need to run migrations on a database".

    I guess this is also the piece that I'm missing. How do I run migrations? Do I deploy a new version with the migration and temporarily take down the server? I'm glad to do that.

    I guess I'm also walking through this because---as I said---I'd love just to switch to SQLite but I'm still not sure how many simple non-esoteric gotchas will pop up.

    Also worth mentioning Fly.io's work on LiteStream [1] and LiteFS [2] giving SQLite important S3 DR/reliability & multi-node replication and scalability opens SQLite up to even more use-cases.

    We're making use of this ourselves in https://blazordiffusion.com which runs entirely on SQLite, using Litestream to replicate it to Cloudflare's R2 object storage which is running on a single Hetzner US Cloud VM at €13 /mo.

    As we believe SQLite + Litestream is a very cost effective solution that can support a large number of App's data requirements we've added first-class support to add SQLite + Litestream support in our Project templates [3] which uses GitHub Actions to run Docker compose App deployments along with setting up Litestream replication to AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage and SFTP in a sidecar container that also includes support running DB Migrations on Server with Rollback on failure. If anyone's looking to do something similar, the GitHub Actions that enable this are being maintained at [4].
