If it creates long term value, is it truly the wrong tool?

Perhaps we should re-evaluate how and when we use things when presented with evidence that others are getting massive value out of tools we typically would have been biased against.

I think so. Using SQLite for an application of that scale would require lots of additional work around caching and queuing at the very least. Much of that could be reduced by using Postgres or some other database designed for that workflow.

Still, if many successful enterprises started SQLite for things of this scale, I should probably reach out to them to see whether there's anything missing from my analysis.
