From my perspective on databases, two trends continued in 2025:

1: Moving everything to SQLite

2: Using mostly JSON fields

Both started already a few years back and accelerated in 2025.

SQLite is just so nice and easy to deal with, with its no-daemon, one-file-per-db and one-type-per value approach.

And the JSON arrow functions make it a pleasure to work with flexible JSON data.
