SQLite as a production database for a low-traffic site?

Question

I\'m considering using SQLite as a production database for a site that would receive perhaps 20 simultaneous users, but with the potential for a peak that could be many mult

Answer 1

To add to an already brilliant answer: Since you are working with a server-less solution in this case, you can say goodbye to replication, or any sort of horizontal scaling of your db, as well as other advanced options. It also isn't the best choice if you have multiple users updating the same exact chunk of information. If you were to shard the database in the future you would have to migrate the data and move to something else. Also if you have a load balancer and multiple systems involved it would be difficult to maintain data centrality if using sqlite. These are just some of the reasons why it isn't recommended. Its great for smaller projects, and great for development.
