It's still normal to refer to e.g. "database server", "application server", etc. processes even when running on a single machine. Re. EC2, I'm referring to the surcharge of having a dedicated instance at all, vs. working at the container / object storage level of abstraction.
- kijin 3y agoSure, you can download an SQLite database from S3 and use it in your Lambda if your dataset is small enough and, more importantly, you either don't do any writes or have access to a highly reliable solution that synchronizes writes across copies and persists them back to S3. Unfortunately, Litestream (which OP is promoting in TFA) needs to run as an independent process inside a VM and/or container in order to sync your writes. It's not very different from a traditional RDBMS in that regard. Even the title says "server-side" SQLite, not "server-less" SQLite.
