How to pick a DB: Do you need users and multiple thread access? yes -> postgres no -> sqlite

@catalinmpit That’s crazy, i was there like last week and ended up fitting to a real backend framework (feathersjs) inside the fullstack one (solid start). it feel so great I’m considering moving from Postgres to rqlite. Am I crazy ?

Separating the backend from the frontend isn't worth it. NextJS frustrated me so much that I didn't want to hear about it ever again. So, I built the backend for my course app separate from the frontend to get away from NextJS. It was a mistake! My backend isn't very complex, and a full-stack web framework like React Router 7 or TanStack Start would have handled it perfectly. Separating the two just to use JavaScript on the backend didn't make sense either. In the future, I'll stick to a full-stack web framework and only consider a separate backend if the app becomes very complex.

The talk demos building a self hosted retrieval augmented generation tool using Ollama (written in Go), rqlite (Go) and sql_vec. Ollama and rqlite build on top of llamacpp and SQLite respectively. The frontend uses templ with @htmx for its brilliant SSE support. No custom JS.

Now you can insert BLOB data directly as byte arrays, through the API, using parameterized queries. #blob-data" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">rqlite.io/docs/api/api/#…

@agarcia_me Thanks! Yeah, I'm a big believer in trying to remove every piece of possible end-user-friction from the software I write.
