No SQLite isn't heavy but I hope you mean for use in development only.

The issue isn't MongoDB is bad and relational DBs are awesome. The real issue is new developers being taught that Mongo and NoSQL in general are the databases you should be using with Node. The problem secondary to that is devs not knowing when each is appropriate.

Sqlite can and is widely used in production server-side.

It's about time the "develoment only" myth was laid to rest. Please read the links bellow:

SQLite is the most widely deployed database engine out there.

Especially if you count all the phones and copy machines and AV equipment. Embedded databases are fun to code with.

Not in production it isn't.
