Not every enterprise application needs a multi-node distributed database. For dedicated client portals, pairing Next.js with an embedded SQLite file database offers incredible read speeds and zero hosting maintenance overhead.
SQLite Performance Advantages
SQLite is serverless; queries read directly from disk files, eliminating TCP connection latency. This makes read queries resolve in microseconds.
Summary
For custom administration dashboards and user portals, keeping the database local and server-side rendering the pages yields maximum speed with simple maintenance.
