Slow and unreliable with sqlite, but rock solid and amazing with postgres.

I haven’t noticed any major performance issues with sqlite. What tasks improved for you when you moved to postgres?

Page loading times, general stability. Everything, really.

I set it up with sqlite initially to test if it was for me, and was surprised how flaky it felt given how highly people spoke about it. I’m really glad I tried with postgres instead of just tearing it down. But my experience is highly anecdotal, of course.
