That's a large part of why I lean more and more into just preferring sqlite for applications.

Even in work environments for apps that likely won't have thousands of simultaneous users. Modern SSD drives are so fast that so many apps don't need the advanced features of a full blown rdbms. And I think options like Turso and Cloudflare D1 fill the in between as a hosted option.

I do wish that sqlite had a couple more native types, it works really well as it stands.
