SQLite likely dominates all other databases combined on the metrics you mentioned, I would guess by at least an order of magnitude.
Server side. Client side. iOS, iPad, Mac apps. Uses in every field. Uses in aerospace.
Just think for a moment that literally every photo and video taken on every iPhone (and I would assume android as well) ends up stored (either directly or sizable amounts of metadata) in a SQLite db.
Yes it seems like it is absent in this discussion but maybe it should have been “it” the whole time as a default option. I wonder if it could attain similar throughput numbers; bet the article would feel slightly sarcastic then though
