IIRC, SQLite is flight certified...which means that they have to show that every machine code branch is tested by their test suite [1]. This stuff is not developed with the same lax processes as "move fast and break things" web apps.

I would _love_ to see that talk if you can dig it up - SQLite's stability story is fascinating.
