<p>These may be useful reading:<p><a href="https://github.com/TryGhost/node-sqlite3/issues/408#issue-57842933">https://github.com/TryGhost/node-sqlite3/issues/408#issue-57...</a><p><a href="https://github.com/WiseLibs/better-sqlite3/issues/32#issuecomment-302164699">https://github.com/WiseLibs/better-sqlite3/issues/32#issueco...</a><p>Copying a quote from the second:<p>> The sqlite3 C API serializes all operations (even reads) within a single process. You can parallelize reads to the database but only by having multiple processes, in which case one process being blocked doesn't affect the other processes anyways. In other words, because sqlite3 serializes everything, doing things asynchronously won't speed up database access within a process. It would only free up time for your app to do other things (like HTTP requests to other servers). Unfortunately, the overhead imposed on sqlite3 to serialize asynchronous operations is quite high, making it disadvantageous 95% of the time.</p>

<p>From the project README:<p>> Thruster also wraps the Puma process so that you can use it without managing multiple processes yourself. This is particularly useful when running in a containerized environment, where you typically won't have a process manager available to coordinate the processes. Instead you can use Thruster as your CMD, and it will manage Puma for you.</p>

<p>FWIW, auto_vacuum set to INCREMENTAL doesn't do any vacuuming automatically; it just stores the information needed to vacuum the DB.<p>From <a href="https://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_auto_vacuum" rel="nofollow">https://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_auto_vacuum</a>:<p>> When the value of auto-vacuum is 2 or "incremental" then the additional information needed to do auto-vacuuming is stored in the database file but auto-vacuuming does not occur automatically at each commit as it does with auto_vacuum=full. In incremental mode, the separate incremental_vacuum pragma must be invoked to cause the auto-vacuum to occur.</p>

<p>You have already gotten excellent options from the other comments, but here's another one that's not been mentioned yet.<p>You may want to consider adjusting your partition key (if feasible) as a function of datetime so you can just drop a complete partition when required, rather than needing separate delete queries.<p>In my experience, it has proven to be a very quick and clean way to clear out older data.</p>
