Is SQLite popular?

Why is SQLite so popular?

As SQLite databases are plain files, they're highly portable and easy to back up. The absence of a server component makes SQLite much simpler to set up, too, even if you're not in a fully fledged development environment. There's no long-lived process to monitor, restart, or inspect for security issues.

Is SQLite a good database?

SQLite works great as the database engine for most low to medium traffic websites (which is to say, most websites).
