I actually feel even better when I am persisting using static files (json, csv, parquet, etc.), but of course that's not always possible.

Three years ago, i would have agreed with you. Now, i have three years' worth of static files, and i am not so sure.

I use sqlite in almost all cases. You wanna store a file? Just put it in as a string. The amount of benefit I have gained by defaulting to sqlite for most tasks is immense.

I haven't done that in decades. Has something changed recently that made it easier to create an ACID data store with static files? Last I looked, ACID was tricky enough with static files that it was easier just to use PostgreSQL.

The issue with this is there's no data consistency in the static files.
