I use Sqlite for a static site! Generating those static pages out to individual pages would involve millions of individual files. So instead I serve up a sqlite database over http, and use a sqlite wasm driver [0] to load (database) pages as needed. Good indexing cuts down on the number of pages it grabs, and I can even get full text search!
Only feature I'm missing is compression, which is complicated because for popular extensions like sqlite-zstd written in Rust.
