Lucas and Luna dive into the quiet dominance of SQLite — the embedded database engine that runs on over a trillion devices, from smartphones and web browsers to aircraft and IoT sensors. They unpack why a library with no server, no configuration, and no separate process has become the most deployed database in the world. Using real numbers — including the 2025 SQLite Consortium release — they explore how it balances performance, reliability, and a zero-maintenance ethos that challenges assumptions about when you really need a full RDBMS. The hosts also discuss SQLite's surprising role in edge computing and what its design philosophy means for developers building for resource-constrained environments.
