SQLite or PostgreSQL? It's Complicated

I see what you're saying now. But unless I'm very much missing the plot, and everyone else is talking about a web application. The post to which you originally replied even constrained it as such:

> you could conceivably run postgres on your app server

So what you've been saying has been taken in the context of packing sqlite or Postgres next to your web application, which has pretty limited use cases, and reads really weirdly in that light.

Discussion was about "app server" and ops maintenance. We just got used to that if you want to bootstrap/install web/api stack, you need to change tons of knobs and configs and install many libs and software pieces.

But there is another approach: one self contained binary/artifact which can include embedded DB too, and be launched by one command.
