Yeah it's nice not to have to think too hard about that when you're trying to focus on a product getting shipped.

Plus, not everything is a public-facing website. It's amazing how little overhead it takes.

exactly. single-node availability is often "good enough." when using sqlite for a simple service, I've cranked things out from first-line-of-code to production in 30 minutes. When the app only gets a hit every minute or so and only from internal traffic, no need for the overhead of a highly available service.
