Thanks again for this test Anton! Would be really interesting to see how latency compare when both client/server are on the same machine (with communication over a socket rather than localhost). This would help provide a more realistic scenario as SQLite would be a drop in replacement when everything is on the same machine. When client and servers are on different machines, usually SQLite can’t step in without non trivial architectural changes 🎉

Do you think any of your tests allow you to take full advantage of the concurrency of Go/Elixir and fault tolerance of BEAM? Or would you need to design new tests to properly check the real world performance of languages like Erlang, Elixir and Gleam? Or is it just too expensive to properly test concurrency?

Great video. Regarding spikes, you can see them for either just more or less pronounced. They're likely maintenance tasks such as vacuuming, rebalancing, checkpointing (in case of SQLite WAL). If you wanted a more apples-to-apples comparison you could bench SQLite-servers such as PocketBase, TrailBase (author here), or libsqlD (not to be confused with local libsql, which is just SQLite). On a tangent: given how cheap SQLite operations are the FFI overhead of Go is actually not insignificant, you would probably get quite a bit more performance from a C/C++/Rust client.

Thank you so much for this! I’m one of the (many) who have asked for it. For the haters out there: yes they don’t totally compare, BUT, both can be used to store and manipulate data with SQL and in sooo many situations, especially on small/medium websites, the setup ends up being application and DB running on the same machine. In these situations (being either MySQL [whatever the flavour Percona, Maria…], Postgre or MS) having a client/server configuration just adds complexity, latency, configuration overhead and we needed to know about potential performance! Without this enlightening test, people would still go choosing based on what’s trendy or heard of “best” in a completely different setup.

Yes, I agree. Except that SQLite supports up to 1000 tx/second, which is not a "medium-sized" project. In reality, the limitations of SQL for "normal" projects are not related to performance, but with how the project is structured. For example, you can not have different applications (even with different business logic) writing to the same instance of the database. Well, you can not with the "vanila" version of SQLite. With things like rqlite that limitation dissapears (together with most of the performance advantage, of course).

Thank you so much for taking up this comparison :)! Also a very good introduction and explanation of the differences. Personally I'd be more interested in seeing this comparison with postgres on only one single machine, but this was already enough for me to move from postgres to sqlite for our next project. Previously I didn't trust sqlite enough, since a lot of information used to say that sqlite isn't for production, but I love working with it (we develop enterprise software, which runs on a single server. Currently we use postgres, since "nobody gets fired for choosing postgres", but sqlite would off er a lot of benefits to our use-cases, and the performance would apparently be more than enough). So thanks again, I found this highly valuable!

If you have less than 500 tx/second in your application, SQLite is better than PostgreSQL for many types of applications. And do not listen to the whiners complaining about the limitation of one writer: the bottleneck is the disk speed for most applications (like "normal" web applications). However, the main limitation is architectural: with "vanila" SQLite, the database belongs to the application. If the application exposes APIs, this is not a big thing, but you should look at these things before you make a decision.

Make the application/client multithreaded (maybe using more cores as well), so they can actually issue more read/write requests at the same time.

Normal application developers in Go just access the DB in each incoming HTTP request, letting Go handle the multiplexing of goroutines to OS thrreads. This would be a simple but realistic scenario that application developers can relate to. And of course, in this scenario I would expect SQLite to win by a big margin, because it is an embedded database (with all the advantages and disadvantages that this may have ...)

Further, syncing the content to the disk is not required, as long as the application is willing to sacrifice durability following a power loss or hard reboot.

Why is Delete operation latency closer to insert than update? Deleted are usually combined with a where clause, so I would expect a table scan of some type. 2. I think showing the measures metrics along data size in the db (or some related value) would be very useful for picturing how much "data" it takes to reach certain behavior. 3. Using docker containers for postgres db and client in a same VM would be more like running on same server or different VMs as your test? My intuition would be that it would be faster, but then again VMs are usually in the same physical server

Thank you for this test. These two are so vastly different but comparing apples and Elephants is valid if you are comparing their vitamin C content. I hadn't considered disk IO cost as a possible factor.

I would still choose Postgres because it can store Arrays natively without doing a relation with other tables which has nothing to do with benchmarks but it is a DX win

Thanks for doing these benchmark comparisons. I have a few comments for improvement In the first test, you should have reads as well. You could for example select from the product table as if you wanted to check the availability. in the second test you should fix the join types. do INNER JOIN of customer table, there will always be a customer for an order. It probably won't change the results because the customer table is small and you select a single order. Maybe you could select a range of orders instead?? You should definitely start with a large database. Any database engine can be fast with very little data. You should have thousands or customers and hundreds of products. Also thousands or millions of orders. Ideally, it would be nice to test a database larger than memory. You can generate CSV files, then some database engines have the option to quickly load a csv so you don't waste hours. Or, for example with SQLite, you could initialize the DB at home and upload the database to Amazon. Like others said, use multithreading. Let SQLite lock the DB for writes. The issue with your test is some people will think that SQLite is better in any use case which I'm sure it is not.

Just saw in SQLite documentation that WAL by default is not durable. From the documentation: "Further, syncing the content to the disk is not required, as long as the application is willing to sacrifice durability following a power loss or hard reboot." This means it is not fair to compare in this mode with other durable RDBMS. You should set PRAGMA synchronous to FULL if you test SQLite again.

Using docker compose to add a Postgres database to the same virtual machine that the web server is running on is common (like with FastAPI server.) You could compare a docker FastAPI server using SQLite vs a docker compose version that adds a postgres container. Many times people do not want to pay for a separate VM for a database. This is the situation that sqlite vs postgres is more common, because you're in maximum cost savings mode and are very concerned about the extra resources postgres needs, vs what it offers.

When designing tests you should consider the number of “independent variables”, which is the number of “things” you’re changing between two tests. In this video, you have two: postures vs sqlite and local vs network access. This means you can’t know how much of the dependent variable (outcome) is because of which independent variable. IMO you should have done two separe tests: one with just Postgres, both remote and local And another with both Postgres and sqlite, both local.

Should have included local postgres listening on UNIX socket. Also please do a test with a few more CPU cores and concurrency. SQLite should do extremely well on concurrent reads. A bit less so on concurrent writes, but on 2 CPU cores I don't believe Postgres would pull ahead since SQLite does writes significantly faster than Postgres in general.

That’s cool, but back in the days when I was working on my first project there was one old network engineer guy who said the next: if your db is on public you must be fired. Still and always the truth.

@jesusruiz4073 2 күн бұрын
That is a big truth. But I don't know why it is relevant for the SQLite/PostgreSQL comparison. Unless that network engineer assumes that people using SQLite are brainless, of course. Also, it may be that that network engineer does not really know about how to secure things, but just guessing.

Thanks, this confirms my experience: for Web applications, up to 1000 write tx/second, SQLite blows PostgreSQL away. This is one of the many "sweet spots" for SQLite. By the way, I would like to know who in the comments has an application with more than 1000 writes/second in production. When you reach the vertical scalability of Web applications with SQLite, then you need to scale horizontally. Until now, it was difficult to do with SQLite, but at this moment it is not a problem. Of course, people will continue using PostgreSQL for those scenarios where SQLite is better, mainly because it is something they know. And for some things, "better the devil you know than the angel you do not know".
