> Nobody wanted us to spend six months looking for bugs in SQLite

Most companies wouldn't. Instead, they'd fire the weirdo that came up with the idea of using some weird db, and switch to Postgres like God intended.

I'm not saying either is right, this is not a criticism of Tailscale and their approach, paying the Sqlite maintainers to fix a real bug is commendable, but it certainly doesn't inspire confidence in the "Sqlite in production" hype train.

While Sqlite is indeed boring technology for single-user SQL DBs, for traditional CRUD and network services, Postgres seems to be a much better trodden and much safer path.
