SQLite is just a little database. With all computers and digital machines, there’s a need for a database. That’s how machines work; they store things up and retrieve them all the time thus, database.
SQLite is the most efficient and quickest database on earth. It was created in summer 2000.
Two things that I love about that:
– SQLite powers your iPhone, Android, Windows, your favorite browser, some Adobe stuff, tons of services out there. It is absolutely everywhere (it powers my RSS reader too, which is insanely fast).
– Despite its age and hundreds if not thousands of ultra-smart engineers tried to make it better or make their own, it is still the best.
There’s a constant push to upgrade, even radically change things in tech (for the best). But SQLite is like “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH no”. For twenty years and counting.
I love it.
