But now you have another process to babysit. How do you keep it healthy? And you have to ensure the client-server communication won't break.
For me the main benefit of sqlite is that it's a library rather than an app.
- ai_fry_ur_brain 5mo agoI have boilerplate for client-server communication that makes it pretty trivial to build on top of. Im not saying that sqlite isn't useful, im mostly saying that using postgres doesnt have to be complicated.

I've been assured by many HN users that running apps/sites on a single VPS requires near-zero maintenance or monitoring to achieve acceptable uptime 24/7/365 for years on end, sooooo...just pretend it will never fail like your main server process?
- ai_fry_ur_brain 5mo agoIve been assured by many HN users that you must have 24/7/365 uptime for everything in case one of your 10 bi-monthly users decides to log on.
- not_kurt_godel 5mo agoCall me old-fashioned and quaint, but I don't like to build software that doesn't work all the time if I can help it, whether it's for 10 users or 10 million.
- bdangubic 5mo ago24/7/365 is needed (or achieved) just about never. our big tech is proving 90% will soon be utopia as well. being down has always been fine for 99.999975% of all projects on the planet.
- not_kurt_godel 5mo agoOk, now tell me the stat by percentage of overall market revenue rather than project count
