# SQLite vs PostgreSQL

SQLite is the lightweight embedded database for local setups; PostgreSQL is the performant object-relational server for large applications. Both are open source and support vector search.

## Our Recommendation

SQLite for local, file-based agent setups; PostgreSQL for server-based systems with high concurrency and large datasets.
