I found myself in a similar situation sometime ago with MongoDB. In one project my unit tests started slowing me down too much to be productive. In another, I had so little data that running a server alongside it was a waste of resources. I invested a couple of weeks in developing a SQLite type of library[1] for Go that implemented the official Go drivers API with a small wrapper to select between the two. Up until now, it paid huge dividends in both projects ongoing simplicity and was totally worth the investment.
