I needed a DB for my LLM project that:

• project isn’t really big
• don’t have to expose your prompts to business team, and even you are not really changing frequently.
• Have 100s of prompts
• don’t really do promp chaining/versioning/branching
• use agents but don’t play with prompts to much
• just commit to git/bit to deploy, ie your CI/CD is simple as that, not complex
• mostly read from DB (you do actually)

I had used sqlite for one of the projects and has also seen that ChromaDB stores those vectors just in mssql. No external dependency, no need to deploy/make it up, perfect for small cases. Then I realise I wanted a database that:

SQLite for NoSQL, since we deal with prompts
No need to deploy and no need to add layer like having mongodb in docker-compose
Still I want to change prompts easily and commit to git/bit (Compare it with the case of MongoUI that you need to deploy the Mongo container, get into the MongoUI and change prompts)
Can organise prompts easily

And I quite liked the TinyDB.
