There's an enormous leap between something which is slow on SQLite and something which requires etl into a data warehouse or similar tech, columnar store etc.

I mean, at least three orders of magnitude, minimum.

It's just a ludicrous argument. SQLite is fine for a file format, and in very specific dumb CRUD scenarios it's just about ok. But it's not worth sticking with if you need anything interesting over any volume of data, far far far below what would warrant a different DB tech to rdbms.

Ironically, you're more representative of the "we'll need Hadoop" crowd.

That seems an especially odd assertion to make. What is your basis for this comment? I'd suggest it makes clear you know nothing about me.

A defense of SQLite on unsuitability to OLAP grounds, when many aggregate and analytic functions can be performed perfectly acceptably on RDBMSes like Postgres (and even MySQL, with care), diving straight to the append-only, data pipeline with ETL approaches.
