> SQLite has a "lite" in the name for a reason

I would not think of SQLite as "lite" anything. It's SQL In The Executable.

It has a better security and data-durability track record than both Postgres and MySQL, and often beats them in the sorts of things applications do with databases:

Seems like it absolutely is "designed" for this use case.
