How do I open an .sqlite file?

SQLite: Would it be a wise choice to use SQLite3 + Amazon S3 for a file sharing Ruby on Rails application?

  • Would it be a wise choice to use SQLite 3 + Amazon S3 for a file sharing Ruby on Rails application? Scalability (short and long term)? Cost? Alternatives?

  • Answer:

    I'm not sure why you would go for a file-based database as it is not very scalable not in the short-term nor in the long-term. You might want to go with a very simple NoSQL database, maybe mongo. Also depending on the size of your files that are going to be shared you could use Mongo's build in MongoFS (best performance for files > 5 MB) and have those files directly served through nginx (see the nginx - mongofs module). S3 works generally very well, though can lead to some cost-problems when scaling very fast. Hope that helps.
