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.

It locks you to postgres. You don’t necessarily have full control over postgres unless you are using your own instance / service, but oftentimes you might need to connect to an external one. SQLite gives you a local option.

Also what do you even mean with “does it store passwords?” A password is just a TEXT or a BLOB if you are feeling charitable and SQLite does support those since forever. If you can store “hello world” you can store a password (just… don’t do it in plaintext, but storage is different from encryption).
