  But tailscale is a distributed, multi-region SaaS provider. It's easy for them to use SQLite. What about a real-world workload? For example, I have 10 users a day on my new next.js app so I clearly need a RDS cluster for burst traffic.

    Tailscale has some server components (account management etc.) that are powered with SQLite. Can read more here: https://tailscale.com/blog/database-for-2022/ https://tailscale.com/blog/database-for-2022/

    One of my websites has been using SQLite3 as a backend database since 2018ish and works perfectly fine.

    I mean, aws makes it quite easy to run postgres so I don't see why not either, you don't need a dba more or less than with SQLite + rqlite. If you wanna run onprem you can usually do with one container for quite awhile too. I wouldn't call postgres a "complex dependency" anymore.

    The existing replies to this comment of yours make it apparent why “/s” is still necessary :)

      I find it hard to believe that someone would mistake the comment as not sarcastic if they read the second paragraph. So if people comment based only on the first paragraph, would they even get to the /s in the end ?
