That engineering blog post is a bit ambiguous to whether or not SQLite is also used in the browser web-app, which I'm presume is being used for most people who clicked on the link.

So that could mean two things:

- SQLite is being used in-memory, but things are still being flushed to IndexedDB for persistence? shouldn't help with faster page navigation here

- SQLite is not being used, so it can't explain the performance increase

I think the answer is more in the second link (changelog):

> - *Your workspace is now more reliable after Apr 16, 2021's scheduled maintenance — we upgraded from a single database instance to a sharded deployment, which means Notion is now capable of serving 3x as much traffic as before*
