I think SQLite and PostgreSQL are significantly different, other than embedded vs server.

SQLite - much less feature-rich; much smaller, suitable for embedded; add functions in the driver of language of your choice

PostgreSQL - more features; write functions into SQL, or that can compile for Postgres; comply to 12-factor app

Some time ago, I was also recommended firebird; but I dropped it, because of no full text search (FTS) support.

If I remembered correctly, at least Firebird, Neo4j and CouchDB have this dual nature.
