    The New Stack[^]:

    In a little more than two decades, it’s become the most widely deployed database in the world, according to the official webpage at SQLite.org — partly due to its simplicity.

    It was bit by a radioactive database during a gamma bomb test...

    And it watched as its mother (named Martha, of course) was shot in an alley behind the opera house as its rocketship was sent to earth.

      It's a shocker that a database installed on each client that uses it has more installations than a database installed on more machines than those that have one installation supporting possibly thousands of clients. I don't think that makes it "most widely-used" though necessarily.
