    SQLite would definitely be smaller, faster, and require less memory.

    Thing is, it’s 2025, roughly 20 years since anybody’s given half a shit about storage efficiency, memory efficiency, or even CPU efficiency for anything so small. Presumably this is not something they need to query dynamically.

      True (in most contexts, probably including this one), but I think that only makes the case for SQLite stronger. What people do still care about is a good flexible, usable and reliable interface. I’m not sure how to get that with YAML.

        YAML is not a good format for this. But any line based or steamable format would be good enough for log data like this. Really easy to parse with any language or even directly with shell scripts. No need to even know SQL, any text processing would work fine.
