I'm curious what you mean by "overkill." SQLite has really low startup costs and is easy to use from almost any language. The code you have to use to query it is not verbose. Typically when I see the word "overkill," I expect that there is some downside for using an approach that is too powerful. But I can't think of a downside to using SQLite in this context.
- jpcx01 16y agoSQLite requires schema definition (CREATE TABLE, ALTER, etc). Thats a bit overkill sometimes when you just want to store a JSON object. Mongo makes it much easier to just start pushing data into collections without having to worry about the tables and columns being defined.
