   I ordered a pizza from Domino's in 2019 and it took 3 hours to be delivered. All it took was that one awful experience and I'll never order from them again.

   I literally have dreams about SQLite supporting write concurrency somehow. That's the only thing holding me back from going all-in on the monolith nirvana described in this article.

    Running SQLite in production for our mid-six figure SaaS for a year now. We use it with Go and run it in WAL mode that allows for concurrent reads and serialized writes. Litestream for backups. No issues, and extremely good performance. Our
