Keep a Knowledge Log
I wrote a tool specifically for this, mostly inspired by the Snippets tool at Google. I've been publishing my weekly log in it every week for almost three years:

The code is all open source if you're interested in playing around with it:

Back to basics: Writing an application using Go and PostgreSQL
I had the same objection to SQLite, and then I heard about Litestream, and it won me over.[0]
Litestream watches your SQLite database and then streams changes to a cloud storage provider (e.g., S3, Backblaze). You get the performance and simplicity of writing SQLite to the local filesystem, but it's syncing to the cloud. And the cool part is that you don't have to change any of your application code to do it - as far as your app is concerned, it's writing to a local SQLite file.
I wrote a little log uploading utility for my business that uses Litestream, and it's been fantastic.[1] It essentially carries around its data with it, so I can deploy my app to Heroku, blow away the instance and then launch it on fly.io, and it pops up with the exact same data.[2]
I'm currently in the process of rewriting an open-source AppEngine app to use SQLite + Litestream instead of Google Firestore.[2] It's such a relief to get away from all the complexity of GCP and Firestore and get back to simple SQLite.

Zero-Cost Database Magic 🪄💾
Fauna is another serverless database created by ex-Twitter engineers. It's kind of like MongoDB, but with native JOIN operations, many document databases miss. They have their own language, FQL, and also a GraphQL API. Here's a quick overview of their free tier:

How to Choose the Right Document-Oriented NoSQL Database for Your Application
NoSQL is a term that we have become very familiar with in recent times and it is used to describe a set of databases that don't make use of SQL when writing & composing queries. There are loads of different types of NoSQL databases ranging from key-value databases like the Reddis to document-oriented databases like MongoDB and Firestore to graph databases like Neo4J to multi-paradigm databases like FaunaDB and Cassandra.

DynamoDB pain points: How to address them and exploring possible alternatives
If you are exploring Amazon DynamoDB alternatives that are NoSQL and have better-querying capabilities, there are a few to choose from, but the one I will be covering here is Fauna. Fauna combines the querying capabilities of relational databases (SQL databases) with the flexibility of NoSQL databases.

Modernizing from PostgreSQL to Serverless with Fauna Part 1 (2023 Update)
Some of the largest websites, driven by the requirements of serving billions of users, have led to the maturation of new database architecture alternatives, which motivate modernizing applications to leverage cloud-native, serverless, highly-distributed database options. Fauna strengthens relational data consistency among these newer alternatives while leveraging a cloud-native, serverless, flexible document model that abstracts most operational complexities from application developers.
