When I was first playing with this, I actually really expected you to be using an expensive performant solution like neo4j. When I read that you were using sqlite, I didn't believe it at first and thought it was a mistype from dev until I looked over the source.

That's an impressive and well thought out performance enhancement, and that the app runs so blazingly fast on sqlite is very impressive.

My thoughts exactly. It's impressive that despite relying on BFS, the tool manages to be so fast on a tiny node on google cloud. Even when there's a depth of >= 5 !

Especially SQLite is often overlooked. A marvelous library that should be part of every personal toolkit.

Neo4j is not necessarily more performant, especially for a particular use case like this.
