I explain this in the post. The goal is to optimize the application for users. I really don't care if Postgres is faster than SQLite or viceversa, I just want users to have a snappier application. The experiment was to swap out the database while leaving everything else the same to see if that affects the overall user experience in a positive or negative way.
Also note that I'm not saying Postgres is faster the SQLite in absolute terms. That happened to be the case for this particular application and how it was deployed. If you perform a similar test with a different app or stack you will likely get different results. A main point I'm trying to make in the article is that people should do their own benchmarking instead of making decisions on stuff you read online.
