We’ve used SQLite in our native apps (including desktop) for years, like you’d expect. We’re considering how we could use it in the browser in a few ways now that OPFS and the ecosystem there are stabilizing. We’re also looking at some use cases server side, but not one-db-per-tenant.

I don’t think SQLite’s single-writer model would mesh well with Notion’s collaborative features. I’m actually very curious if the one-db-per-tenant concept turns out to be a good idea or a fad. To me it seems like a small app can very happily fit all their users on a single Postgres instance with much less orchestration effort, and a large app demanding of its database would hit the single-write lock thing.

If you want to know more, think about joining?? :) https://notion.so/careers or @jitl on Twitter
