  It does mean a form of provider lock-in, which is or can be its own issue. Also, while PostgreSQL is one of the best database engines out there among the FOSS stuff, it is verifiably and vastly overblown for stuff like “store a name and a email”, and I at least am not aware of any sort of “Postgres Lite” engines else I’d be using them at work.

    How does it lock you in? You, the admin, has full control over postgres. Sqlite has no security features. Sqlite also locks the database which is usually OK if there are no concurrent jobs. But for such services it sounds like a bad idea to use sqlite. (I am no server/app dev)

      Sqlite shouldn’t lock for read, so unless you are writing something at each access, you can have thousands of concurrent reads. The Sqlite website spells this out, and lists its own self as the proof.

      This would mean you could not write logs to the database, you’d have to do it the unixy way and put logs in a text file.
