alt Hacker NewsI use postgres for very simple apps. I have a Dockerfile I use in my boilerplate repo. It takes a single make cmd for me to build, start and run migrations. Its as simple as using sqlite.

Its 2x the infra. You have to manage an additional process, auth, backups, logging, etc.
But now you have another process to babysit. How do you keep it healthy? And you have to ensure the client-server communication won't break.
For me the main benefit of sqlite is that it's a library rather than an app.
