SQLite on Rails

Ruby's SQLite library and Rails SQLite adaptor have improved their capabilities and performance massively recently. It's now perfectly reasonable to use SQLite in a production application. I presented at Ruby Australia's Melbourne meetup on these improvements and why you should take a close look at SQLite and consider it in production.

I also go over replacing an API by simply shipping a whole SQLite database and importing directly from it, which might be an unusual technique, but actually very simple and fast.
