SQLite

SQLite is a free, self-contained, serverless SQL database engine that allows you to create and manage databases directly without any server setup or configuration. Its lightweight design makes it perfect for embedded systems, mobile applications, and small to medium-sized projects where simplicity and reliability are key. With zero configuration required, you can start building and querying databases immediately, enjoying full ACID compliance and robust transaction support. SQLite stores the entire database as a single cross-platform file, making backup and deployment incredibly straightforward. It's widely trusted in production environments worldwide, from web browsers to operating systems, offering a powerful yet minimalistic approach to database management.
