Let's quickly look into how LiteJob uses SQLite to implement a job queueing system. In essence, the class Litequeue interfaces with the SQLite queue table. This table's columns, like id, name, fire_at, value, and created_at, store and manage job details.
Firstly, LiteJob's reliance on SQLite inherently restricts its horizontal scaling capabilities. Unlike other databases, SQLite is designed for single-machine use, making it challenging to distribute workload across multiple servers. This can certainly be done using novel technologies like LiteFS, but it is far from intuitive.
