When hankchinaski says 'managed' I think they really mean that there's some capital-A App dashboard somewhere, on Digital Ocean or wherever, and they log in and click 'new database' and that's it. No ssh-ing to a VPS, and choosing the file location where the sqlite file will sit, figuring out backups and so on. But as you say, while you can wrap postgres or redis in that sort of 'just take care of it for me' approach, given the simplicity of sqlite it doesn't fit that paradigm, so perhaps hankchinaski is just misunderstanding what sqlite fundamentally is and how it works.

I clearly did not express myself correctly. Being all these managed solutions (heroku, do app platform) running on an ephemeral fs it is not possible to use disk as long term storage as sqlite requires. So I’m basically forced to manage an attached disk to my container which needs to be backed up, monitored and so on

Maybe an NFS mount or something that handles back ups automatically? Scripting to handle an automatic restore of the database?

Maybe a heroku that knows about your database file and automatically loads the latest version for you?

I kind of feel like GP is a troll comment, as there's no real value add for a managed SQLite.
