MongoDB vs SQLite: What are the differences?
MongoDB: The database for giant ideas. MongoDB stores data in JSON-like documents that can vary in structure, offering a dynamic, flexible schema. MongoDB was also designed for high availability and scalability, with built-in replication and auto-sharding; SQLite: A software library that implements a self-contained, serverless, zero-configuration, transactional SQL database engine. SQLite is an embedded SQL database engine. Unlike most other SQL databases, SQLite does not have a separate server process. SQLite reads and writes directly to ordinary disk files. A complete SQL database with multiple tables, indices, triggers, and views, is contained in a single disk file.
MongoDB and SQLite can be categorized as "Databases" tools.
"Document-oriented storage", "No sql" and "Ease of use" are the key factors why developers consider MongoDB; whereas "Lightweight", "Portable" and "Simple" are the primary reasons why SQLite is favored.
MongoDB is an open source tool with 16.3K GitHub stars and 4.1K GitHub forks. Here's a link to MongoDB's open source repository on GitHub.
Uber Technologies, Lyft, and Codecademy are some of the popular companies that use MongoDB, whereas SQLite is used by Intuit, Coderus, and Infoshare. MongoDB has a broader approval, being mentioned in 2189 company stacks & 2218 developers stacks; compared to SQLite, which is listed in 314 company stacks and 477 developer stacks.

I starting using MongoDB because it was much easier to implement in production then hosted SQL, and found that a lot of the limitation you think of from a document store vs a relational database were overcome by connecting the application to a graphql API, making retrieval seamless. Mongos latest upgrades as well as Stitch and Mongo mobile make it a perfect fit especially if your application will be cross platform web and mobile.

PostgreSQL plus TimescaleDB allow us to concentrate the business effort on how to analyze valuable data instead of manage them on IT side. We are now able to ingest thousand of social shares "managed" data without compromise the scalability of the system or the time query. TimescaleDB is transparent to PostgreSQL , so we continue to use the same SQL syntax without any changes. At the same time, because we need to manage few document objects we dismissed the MongoDB cluster.
The Paperless Project
SQLite is a tricky beast. It's great if you're working single-threaded, but a Terrible Idea if you've got more than one concurrent connection. You use it because it's easy to setup, light, and portable (it's just a file).
In Paperless, we've built a self-hosted web application, so it makes sense to standardise on something small & light, and as we don't have to worry about multiple connections (it's just you using the app), it's a perfect fit.
For users wanting to scale Paperless up to a multi-user environment though, we do provide the hooks to switch to PostgreSQL .
MongoDBUsed MongoDB as primary database. It holds trip data of NYC taxis for the year 2013. It is a huge dataset and it's primary feature is geo coordinates with pickup and drop off locations. Also used MongoDB's map reduce to process this large dataset for aggregation. This aggregated result was then used to show visualizations.
MongoDBMongoDB fills our more traditional database needs. We knew we wanted Trello to be blisteringly fast. One of the coolest and most performance-obsessed teams we know is our next-door neighbor and sister company StackExchange. Talking to their dev lead David at lunch one day, I learned that even though they use SQL Server for data storage, they actually primarily store a lot of their data in a denormalized format for performance, and normalize only when they need to.
MongoDBNearly all of our backend storage is on MongoDB. This has also worked out pretty well. It's enabled us to scale up faster/easier than if we had rolled our own solution on top of PostgreSQL (which we were using previously). There have been a few roadbumps along the way, but the team at 10gen has been a big help with thing.
SQLiteWe build queries in PHP with DSQL that work with SQLite. We also have SQLite data controller, so that you can build SQLite-based models.
SQLiteUsed during the "build process" of Coolfront Mobile's Flat rate search engine database. Flat rate data that resides in Salesforce is transformed using SQLite into a format that is usable for our mobile Flat rate search engine (AKA: Charlie).
MongoDBWe are testing out MongoDB at the moment. Currently we are only using a small EC2 setup for a delayed job queue backed by agenda. If it works out well we might look to see where it could become a primary document storage engine for us.
SQLiteRDBTools is a self-hosted application, and it is important that the installation process is simple. With SQLite, we create a new database file for every analysis. Once the analysis is done, the SQLite file can be thrown away easily.
MongoDBUsed for proofs of concept and personal projects with a document data model, especially with need for strong geographic queries. Often not chosen in long term apps due to chance data model can end up relational as needs develop.
SQLiteAll the dynamic data (i.e.: jobs) is stored in a simple SQLite database.

SQLiteThere's really no call for something heavier for this site. SQLite is simple, easy to use and quite reliable given its age.
