Isn't SQLite a de facto standard? Seems like it to me. If I want an embedded SQL engine, it is the "nobody got fired for selecting" choice. A competitor needs to offer something very compelling to unseat it.

I mean as in: Most web stacks do not default to sqlite over MySQL or postgres. Why not? Best default for most users, apparently.

  • I think in the past it was more obvious. Rails switched to SQLite as the default somewhat recently
