Why MongoDB lasted

  • Document as default was a real relief from ORMs, and Atlas made it a business.
  • The driver experience and the JSON-shaped brain still match how a lot of apps think.

Why SQLite lasted

  • It is in every phone, every browser, every airplane, and most 'we don't need a database' apps.
  • Public domain, single file, no server. There is nothing to cancel and almost nothing to break.
