Does this mean that you can hack some database storage (w/ sqlite) together on frontend only hosting platforms like Github or Netlify?

I think not, but I wonder if some hack is available by virtue of it simply being a file that you can read (and somehow) write to.

The best I came up with: let's say you have a toy project, and you call the Github API and replace the file upon every write. Implementing a read is easier as you know where the file is located. This hack shows that you somehow need write access to get any form of performance out of it, because this hack is super slow.
