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.

I've been assured by many HN users that running apps/sites on a single VPS requires near-zero maintenance or monitoring to achieve acceptable uptime 24/7/365 for years on end, sooooo...just pretend it will never fail like your main server process?

I have boilerplate for client-server communication that makes it pretty trivial to build on top of.

Im not saying that sqlite isn't useful, im mostly saying that using postgres doesnt have to be complicated.
