SQLite and PostgreSQL — Both in One Rust Application

Most applications force you to choose: SQLite or PostgreSQL.

This one doesn’t.

One Rust application, two databases, same core logic.

This post explores how a single codebase can switch between SQLite (zero setup) and PostgreSQL (scalable) — without duplication or branching.

  • unified connection layer (sqlx::AnyPool)
  • runtime database selection
  • schema differences
  • real-world challenges

No theory-heavy explanations. Just how it actually works.

Curious to hear your thoughts 🙂
