I started 7 years ago with SQLite and still have all my sites and webapps running on that. Works wonderfully for me. Meanwhile I must have seen close to a dozen data storage systems become popular then be replaced by the next big thing, from MySQL to NoSQL and everything in between.

I love SQLite. It's simple, it doesn't make a fuss, and it does what you'd expect. And better yet, since it's a single file application database instead of a database running on a server, support for it is built in to Python, and you using it is as simple as an import statement and .connect() - no server to configure.

MySQL became popular rather more than7 years ago, and still is.
