I recently hopped on the SQLite train myself - I think it's a great default. If your business can possibly use sqlite, you get so much performance for free - performance that translates to a better user experience without the need to build a complicated caching layer. The argument boils down to how the relative performance costs of databases have changed in the 30 years since MySQL/Postgres were designed - and the surprising observation that a read from a fast SSD is usually faster than a network call to memcached.
