I like the least is  supporting the multiple languages because i an a data analyst student and for that  i need data which is store in database and i can arange the data in order

DIgital Operations Executive

quick to deploy and simple to implement, although certain users may want to be aware of some UI and security concerns.

 IT infrastructure analyst

I have used this database for the development of mobile application projects and for the prototyping of web pages, which makes it a very good database, easy and agile when manipulating data

DevOps Engineer

Compared to other RDBMSes, it's very simple - which means that it's lacking certain features when it comes to scalability - it performs well in simple scenarios, and in complex ones - it just won't (unless you are very lucky and it's e.g. a case when there is only a single connection).Moreover, it lacks certain security features like user management and access control.

Sql lite is eaay to use and the built are function is alo very good it helps me to save my time.

Data Scientist

I transferred the excel data I had, created tables, and transferred this data to the external environment with an external connection.

Data Analytics Manager

It allows us to have a database backend without the usual set up and configuration steps needed for more complex RDBMS.

Internship for software developer

It's light (doesn't require much resources), fast, it's stable, cross-platform.

It's a fast and light tool, which helped me in several different cases.

Bachelor in cientific computer and systems engineering student.

Thanks to its interface, understanding all its specific functions was not so difficult for me and at the same time working with its tools is an effective and fast process.

Internship

I do not see any database competing with SQLite

BUSINESS ANALYST

SQLite was an excellent choice for us when we wanted to store a database for a basic utility that we were developing.

 Software Engineer & Co-Founder

SQLite offers a highly advance database management solution with its open source structure.

Its connection and management with computer and mobile applications is one of the best, its interface is quite simple and easy to use for the user.

Software developer 

We always use SQLite as our database when building software and web application prototypes and when deploying basic websites and apps that are not data-intensive.

It appears to be designed to function on tiny devices with a minimal footprint.

Consultor

That there is no native way to make it multi-user. That there is no native way to merge files from the same database, when they have been modified by different users and platforms.

Web developer 

We can easily manage and exicute data in it.

Intern

The database administration for SQLite is also particularly excellent.

Programmer

I recommand this if you need local database.

Quantitative Analyst

It is serverless, needs no configuration, easy to start working with and use in development, especially when fixing/improving some legacy software. When used correctly, especially with limited amount of data, allows for fast queries.

Database design for companies

The data management are good but complicated

Software Developer

It provides me the fastest way to setup a database for my projects.

With websites, SQLite can only handle sites with low to medium traffic.

Assistant Manager 

The product doesn't have the entire range of operations that you might need for complex querying.

It is quite easy to use with its well versed documentations.

Manufacturing Specialist

The competition wins when it comes to scalability and is not suited for projects that will expand.

Its portability capacity has allowed us to distribute work effectively.

The interface is simple and user friendly.

The installation and setup is very very easy quick.

Electrical Buyer

SQLite is very convenient because is an embedded and lightweight database engine and its tools are very easy to use.

It's open source and free to install and runs on a server-less environment.  

I like that it is an open-source SQL database engine.

The few resources you need and its portability.

Its clauses can be easily found on the internet

Big Data Developer II

It has some limitations when it comes to the size of the data your'e working with.

Describe your general experience with SQLite

It cannot handle multiple tasks at the same time so is not a good choice for production.

SQLite is quite easy to install and get started.

Ease of access and connection to the SQLite database are a big plus when working with data.

Student

It is very easy to use and includes several help functionalities for beginners.

So, in short, if you are not a genius with IT, stay away from Digital Ocean. Or if you use, pray that you will not have any problems and will need technical support, because if you do, support will be nowhere to be found!

security assessment engineer

It's one of my go-to tools for creating multiple droplet with compute resource customizable for me and can spin up them simultaneously, ssh in to them to run in parallel for my recon process in application security testing.

Accountant

It’s allowed me to back up sensitive client invoices and access them on the go from virtually any computer or device, which really helps me keep my accounting tasks organized for audits.

The DigitalOcean Spaces feature for storing financial reports is extremely safe, and pricing is clear, so what you price in the budget is what you’ll be charged, no surprises.

Provisioning the `Cloud Services is simple with Digital Ocean, I have been implementing ERPNext Solutions on Digital Ocean, it is easy to provision the server and then do the installation. Whether it is doing backup or restore the Server.

Production site 24+ hours, no real response, no escalation.

Frontend engineer

DigitalOcean provides user friendly website and competitive pricing which i used to buy domains for my personal uses

To make things worse, even though the server was inaccessible, DigitalOcean continued charging me for it daily.

PhD Candidate

Highly recommended especially for startups that do not have the capital to host servers.

It's pretty simple to get up and running with a WordPress site and then customize.  

Engineering Manager

For smaller scale deployments with simple requirements, DO is 50% of the cost of a larger provider like AWS.

You get really affordable options without sacrificing too much in terms of performance, which is a win-win.

Solution Architect

DigitalOcean is a great choice for developers who want a simple, affordable, and fast cloud hosting solution.

Their support is extremely slow and unresponsive during critical issues.

Willing to add new state of the art AI features

After 4 days with no response from support, I deleted the host entirely.

I also had to compensate my client for the downtime.

CEO, CMO and Co-Founder

Low internet speed or fluctuating supply would really cost the user.

Founder

One important limitation is that DigitalOcean uses CloudFlare so the request time is limited to 100 seconds and this can't be changed.

Simple reliable services, been using them for years and never had any major issues with them.

I used a VPS from DigitalOcean for a few months.

Project Manager

It provide own hosting panel along with virtual machines and allow for complete control over it.
