You can absolutely just store all the data in the sqlite database, as long as it actually fits. And there's cases where people actually do this on our platform, though I don't think we have an example in our docs.
A lot of people just learning about streaming systems don't come in with useful intuitions about when they can and can't use that approach, or even that it's an option. We're hoping to build up to some documentation that can help new people learn what their options are, and when to use each one.
