From my experience SQLite is great when only one process with no parallelism needs to write to the DB and where no other process will frequently overlap reads with writes. However, for CPU-heavy computations that needs multiple cores to compute and write to the DB PostgreSQL has a much better fit for me even for fairly small data-sets. And the ease of use and setup of PostgreSQL is not that much more than SQLite.
