Getting Started with SQLite

SQLite is a open-source, embedded database. Its simplistic nature makes it a great candiate for prototyping and testing.

You can use SQLite with Vapor (or any server-side Swift framework) by either:

• Using Fluent SQLite ORM.
• Use just SQLite core.

We recommend using the ORM since it does a lot of the hard work for you. Check out the respective guides to learn more.
