I love controversy so I was able to push SQLite through as the sole persistence mechanism for our product. Virtually every constraint lined up with our business perfectly.

We sell a B2B product that gets installed by our customers, so they love it too. No more sweaty hands conversations about why their database server cant talk to their application server over their networks while we are caught in the middle trying to avoid taking ownership of their internal IT problems.
