SQLite is an amazing solution and you can read some of it's.
You can also see some of it's popular users .
The point of this software atom is to point out that it is likely an amazing choice for nearly all your side projects. Don't be worried about scaling or replacing it.
Using adequate software development techniques and a good ORM will let you replace SQLite with Postgres or MySQL with ease.
Why is SQLite a great choice ?
It is just a library - you can have a single container deployment that includes your service and db. Less complexity, pipelines, monitoring and backups.
It's performance is great, especially since it is in the same machine and your pet projects won't have hundreds of gigabytes of data.
Testing is easier - seeding your database and creating new instances is trivial since sqlite is a single file per db. This can give you a lot of cheap, fast and reliable solutions.
