SQLite the only database you will ever need in most cases
> In contrast to many other database management systems, SQLite is not a client-server database engine, but you actually very rarely need that. If your application software runs on the same physical machine as the database, which is what most small to medium sized web applications does, then you probably only need SQLite.
Disagree.
If you think about it from an attack surface perspective, there are numerous advantages to isolating the database. There are performance, availability, sharding, and columnar options out there also that may better meet the use-case (just to name a few). I have ran Postgres on endpoints when developing with performance akin to SQLite. Further, there are numerous ways in which to increase performance, availability, or to pursue some of the more customized versions of Postgres depending on use-case. One of the times I used Postgres was with Oracle DBAs, and they found the transition pretty simple.
Various customizations / extensions / versions of PG
There are security versions e.g. https://www.crunchydata.com/products/hardened-postgres
Columnar / high performance Parallelized extensions e.g. https://www.citusdata.com/product
General Purpose / Oracle transitions e.g. https://www.citusdata.com/product
Yandex even has an embedded Postgres https://github.com/yandex-qatools/postgresql-embedded
If you'd like to see a full list of features see https://www.postgresql.org/about/featurematrix/
More than this though, PG has a really excellent community with a large amount of talented folks, available both individually and through OSS oriented companies https://www.postgresql.org/support/professional_support/ and willing to help out on Libera https://www.postgresql.org/about/news/migration-of-postgresq...

SQLite the only database you will ever need in most cases
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.
