my brother in Christ, SQLite is not a RDBMS. it runs on the same machine as your application. the scary, overwhelmingly complex problems you've enumerated should indeed be left to competent professionals to deal with, but they do not affect SQLite.

$15/month for Postgres managed hosting. I would consider DO as competent professionals.

And are they going to deal with that scary stuff for me for $15/mo? Or are they going to turn it off and on and tell me I need a bigger boat if it’s slow?

What scary stuff are you dealing with?
