A comment on SQLite Is Serverless. Parent comment
You can get by with files, but they're slower. A DB is the right choice.
Structured data anytime you're hitting multiuser - web, networked games, collab programs, live maps, etc.
Anything that's massively stateful. A DB hands you a lot of guarantees. The filesystem has some of them, but is much slower.
