SQLite is great, but the README is a bit disingenuous in not mentioning any of the downsides of using it (e.g. scalability concerns if you go beyond what a single box can handle.)


At what scale would this become a significant concern? While some tech startups aspire to achieve Google-level success, such massive scale is extremely rare in reality. I'm curious about the threshold where issues begin to materialize.


> README is a bit disingenuous

My guess is that they assume the reader is already familiar with sqlite. And "lite" is in the name Litestack. And it says in the second sentence of the description: "It exploits the power and embeddedness of SQLite".

Personally I think that's good enough.
