SQLite is surprisingly good. You can even run a small site or intranet from it.

It has the advantage of requiring zero administration. All you need is a file: backups or copies are just a matter of copying the file.

Yep, I think too many people fall in to the trap of thinking they are Google or Netflix when the reality is their site could probably be run on a potato. I wouldn’t use sqlite for a commercial web app but even a good chunk of those would be just fine on it.
