Zero-Config Embedded Database for Every Platform
SQLite is the world's most widely deployed database engine — serverless, self-contained, and requiring zero configuration. Matlab Infotech integrates SQLite for mobile apps, desktop software, edge computing, and lightweight backends where a full database server is unnecessary overhead.

Why SQLite
Why Choose SQLite for Your Project
Zero Configuration
No server process, no installation, no credentials — the entire database is a single portable file.
Perfect for Mobile
SQLite is the native local database on iOS and Android — battle-tested at billions of device scale.
ACID Transactions
Full ACID compliance with WAL mode ensures data integrity even during crashes or power loss.
Surprisingly Fast
In-process execution eliminates network round-trips; read-heavy workloads outperform many client-server databases.
Embedded Portability
Ship your entire data layer as a single file — ideal for offline-first apps and cross-platform distribution.
Battle-Tested Stability
SQLite's codebase has 100% branch test coverage and is used in billions of devices without modification.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about SQLite
When should I use SQLite instead of PostgreSQL?
Use SQLite for mobile apps, desktop applications, edge deployments, embedded systems, read-heavy caches, and test suites. Use PostgreSQL when you need concurrent writers from multiple processes, advanced replication, or enterprise-grade features.
Is SQLite production-ready for web applications?
Yes, for the right workloads. Cloudflare D1 and Turso run SQLite at the edge for production traffic. For traditional server apps with many concurrent writers, PostgreSQL is a better fit.
How do you handle SQLite migrations in mobile apps?
We version schemas using integer schema versions and run ALTER TABLE migrations on app launch. On Android we use Room migrations; on iOS we use GRDB or SQLite.swift migration patterns — we never destroy user data.
Does SQLite support full-text search?
Yes, via the FTS5 extension which supports BM25 ranking, prefix queries, and phrase matching — ideal for searchable notes, messages, or catalogues stored locally.
Can SQLite scale to multiple servers?
Traditional SQLite is single-file. For distributed workloads we use Turso (libSQL) or LiteFS for replication, or Cloudflare D1 for managed globally-distributed SQLite.
What ORMs work with SQLite?
We use Drizzle ORM and Prisma (TypeScript), Room (Android/Kotlin), GRDB (Swift/iOS), and Entity Framework Core (.NET). For direct Node.js access we use better-sqlite3, which is synchronous and very fast.
