I've been struggling with the Postgres vs. SQLite decision lately, especially since my app runs on a single server (and will likely continue that way for a long time) but the real reason I am still leaning towards Postgres is for the ecosystem of monitoring tools and plugins. For example a big downside of SQLite is that I don't have easily available tools that can give me reports on slow queries, full table scans, and other poorly written SQL "gotchas" which inevitably happen. I have to invent and implement monitoring on the application level.

Yeah I hear you. I recently started logging slow queries to a text file. It was really easy to do but yeah I didn’t really look into more complex monitoring. I wonder if there’s anything out there!
