Build lightweight applications with the world's most deployed database
SQLite is a self-contained, serverless, zero-configuration database engine. As the most widely deployed database in the world, SQLite is embedded in billions of devices including every Android and iOS device. Perfect for mobile apps, embedded systems, and applications that need a simple, reliable database without server overhead.
No server needed—SQLite is a database in a file.
Zero Configuration: No setup required
Serverless: No separate process
Cross-Platform: Works everywhere
Reliable: ACID compliant
Concurrency: Limited write concurrency
Network: Not for client-server
Size Limits: Best for smaller databases
Mobile Apps: iOS, Android local storage
Desktop Apps: Electron, native apps
Embedded Systems: IoT devices
Testing: Development and prototyping
SQLite is typically paired with these technologies
