Comment on Show HN: Librario, a book metadata API that aggregates G Books, ISBNDB, and more

Would it be possible to use a SQLite file instead of a PostgreSQL instance? Or do you rely on some specific PostgreSQL functionality?

No, I decided pretty early on to make it database specific instead of more generic, so we do use some PostgreSQL features right now, like their UUIDv7 generation.

But once the database refactor is done, I wouldn’t say no to a patch that made the service database agnostic.
