The binary size is my main hesitation with Bun-based CLIs too. For comparison, a typical Go CLI with cobra compiles to ~10MB statically linked, and you get cross-compilation for free. The plugin system and compile-time validation here are genuinely nice though — Go's CLI ecosystem doesn't have anything equivalent to that.

The single-file simplicity of SQLite is a huge win for self-hosted apps. I've been using SQLite in WAL mode for a single-user app and it handles concurrent reads from the API while background workers write without issues. Backup is just cp. For anything that doesn't need multi-user concurrent writes, it's hard to justify the operational overhead of Postgres. ko
