Adopt SQLite to cut Rails infrastructure cost and DevOps overhead

takeaway 2 connections

Wrona's summary: driven by simplicity, lower cost, and limited team velocity, switching to SQLite made the app faster, cut infrastructure cost by an order of magnitude, removed nearly all DevOps concerns, and freed the team to focus on features. He considers SQLite viable and beneficial for essentially any application so long as the team understands and accepts the trade-offs (single writer, opaque FK errors, single-node limits).
