Why use SQLite?

My postgres process doesn't come close to using up enough resources to push me out of even the cheap VPS tiers and I don't have to worry about locking if there's a heavy write load.

Backing up an SQLite database is as simple as copying a single file. As long as nothing is writing in the file, you're good.

That's not a reason.

Plus setting up a nightly back up of any SQL database, regardless of creed, is like a 10 line cron job.

Yeah, fair point. From a cost standpoint it's more about using the same server for your application and your database.
