@friend sqlite is a great example! I used to use a Proper Database Server (typically postgres) for my hobby projects, but I'm so glad I switched. Initial deployment is way easier and my data is always pretty small.

Job descriptions are often a good way of learning about a company's tech stack. "Experience with SQL databases, Postgres preferred" shows exactly what DB they use. It's much rarer to see a dev blog, but I find this is often sufficient for my curiosity.

Most Pharo users prefer Linux with postgres: https://medium.com/@emaringolo/pharo-rdbms-support-survey-results-9c8f640878db (it's funny how Linux is not a niche OS in the developer community!)
