Now this is an interesting concept. I spent a few weekends writing a postgres proxy for PII a few years ago and I realized how much you really could inbetween a database and your app layer.

Never thought about just leveraging sqlite as the entire backend and running every database protocol as its interface.

Third-party audits like https://jepsen.io/ are an example.
