Gotchas with SQLite in Production

SQLite is gaining attention as an excellent database for production web applications, especially for those seeking simplicity. Despite its suitability for many applications, it has several 'gotchas' that can pose challenges, including configuration, lack of network connections, issues with network and ephemeral file systems, concurrency limitations, transactional overhead, backup complexities, and migration limitations. While SQLite offers lower operational complexity, applications requiring multiple machines or heavy write workloads may find MySQL or Postgres more suitable.
