I think it is ok for less than 100k page views/day, by enabling wal I think you can handle 1 million page views daily
http://www.sqlite.org/whentouse.html Generally speaking, any site that gets fewer than 100K hits/day should work fine with SQLite. The 100K hits/day figure is a conservative estimate, not a hard upper bound. SQLite has been demonstrated to work with 10 times that amount of traffic. the main cons was that sqlite writes block reads, but that is solved by enabling WAL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRu86mcRk5Y in web2py I just use that db = DAL('sqlite://storage.sqlite', migrate=True) try: db.executesql("PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL;") except: pass
