Author of SuperSQLite here. SQLite is under-utilized in my opinion! Because of the name, people seem to have the misconception that it can't be used for production workloads. It's true that it generally works well for embedded use cases, but it can be used for so much more and has an extremely simple codebase without a lot of bloat.

Some guy on IRC told me they made a world scale DNS server work because of sqlite.
Would you recommand it on the server side as well?

For example to store user credentials.

You could, plenty of sites do! It really depends on your write workload, but I would say it would scale pretty well for most small to medium size SaaS companies unless your product is Google scale.
