I'm not really sure why this post has downvotes. docker-compose dramatically lowers the barrier for setting up a single machine with multiple services (your service, db, etc). For a similar experience you do the same with AWS RDS or equivalent. Performance will be better and worse in various situations but if your software still fits in one machine you're largely going to be "ok." Backups, restore, monitoring, etc are all important for running software and that's something an sqlite file doesn't really offer the best solutions for. It works great for some things (I've used it many many times) but it's not perfect for everything.
- zaptheimpaler 5y agoI call this trend "tech hipster"-ism. Part of the motivation is just to do something different just for the sake of being different. Maybe part of it is a perception that Postgres or Linux are oh-so-scary and difficult things or that using the same technology that Amazon uses makes you evil. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
