I think SQLite is underrated.

With WAL mode + increasing the page cache you can get some excellent concurrency, even if doing reads and writes at the same time.

With rqlite it's easy to make it a server database and have a cluster of SQLite databases (https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite).

I wouldn't try to create the new Instagram with it, but I think it'd be capable enough for many apps that are built on top of more complex DBs.
