SQLite did decently well but I think they should’ve done an additional benchmark with the database loaded completely into memory.

Since they’re using Go to accept requests and forwarding them to their SQLite connection, it may have been worthwhile to produce the same interface with Rust to demonstrate whether or not SQLite itself was hitting its performance limit or if Go had some hand in that.

Other than that, it’s a good demonstration of how a custom solution for a lightweight task can pay off. Keep it simple but don’t reinvent the wheel if the needs are very general.
