Why is SQLite gaining so much momentum and traction lately?
- velcrovan 3y agoSQLite has been the most widely used SQL database worldwide for at least a decade if not more. https://sqlite.org/mostdeployed.html https://sqlite.org/mostdeployed.html
- systems 3y agowell, not only lately, SQLite was always very popular My personal opinion, is that the relational model is the best option to model data, any attempt to avoid it, replace it, mimic it adds more complexity than it solve Linked Tables (relations) is the ultimate data modeling tool
- themerone 3y agoI think this is more of a return to the status quo. 10+ years ago there were 2 big names in open source embedded databases, Berkley DB, and SQLite. Then the NoSQL fad hit, and a bunch of new key value stores emerged. Now developers are remembering what made relational databases great. Even when you don't need relational features, SQLite is battle tested, and a great choice for storing key, value pairs.
