Consider SQLite
A significant part of the reason that people discount SQLite as a web database server is that in the past, it probably wasn't a good choice! SQLite has relatively quietly gotten significantly faster over the past decade — on my laptop, a recent version of SQLite completes the speedtest1 suite ~4.1...

I continue to be a huge fan of SQLite and use it for all my side projects. Beyond what's discussed in this article, you can also easily implement custom functions in your app directly to implement efficient queries that would be really hard to do otherwise.
"On the whole, I think using SQLite is a good tradeoff for a lot of projects, including webapps that expect to have a potentially large number of users. As long as you don't expect to need tens of thousands of small writes per second, thousands of large writes, or long-lived write transactions, it's highly likely that SQLite will support your usecase. It significantly reduces complexity and operational burden and eases testing, with the primary downside that it's somewhat harder to get levels of availability and uptime that almost no one needs in the first place."
