SQLite is an embeddable open source database that is fast, portable, and reliable. It can be used as a conventional relational database or to store configuration data for a program. SQLite has cross-platform compatibility, is compatible with most programming languages, is self-contained, and has extensive tooling. It is frequently compared to MySQL and other embedded databases. However, SQLite has limitations when it comes to certain features, scale-out designs, simultaneous write operations, and strong data typing.
