  Hell, even SQLite is good enough for most small projects.

    SQLite is underrated. If your system has a large number of readers and a small number of writers, it performs very well. It’s not as good for high-concurrency write-heavy use cases, but that’s not common (most apps read far more than they write).

      Wow, I never thought about storing build data in an SQLite file. That’s quite clever.

        One of SQLite’s recommended use cases is as an alternate to proprietary binary formats: sqlite.org/appfileformat.html. Programs often store data in binary files for performance, but you get a lot of the same functionality included with SQLite (fast random access, concurrent usage, atomicity, updates that don’t need to rewrite the whole file, etc) without having to implement a file format yourself.
