## What it is
aiosqlite is a Python library providing an asyncio-friendly interface to SQLite databases, replicating the standard sqlite3 module with async versions of connection and cursor methods. It runs database operations on a dedicated thread per connection so queries don't block the event loop.

## Use cases
- use sqlite in an asyncio application without blocking the event loop
- run async SQL queries from FastAPI or aiohttp handlers
- async iterate over sqlite query results
- manage sqlite connections with async context managers
- migrate sync sqlite3 code to async python

## When to choose
- you need SQLite access inside an asyncio event loop
- you want a drop-in async mirror of the sqlite3 API
- you need lightweight embedded storage in async Python code

## When to avoid
- you need a network database server like PostgreSQL or MySQL
- your application is synchronous and doesn't use asyncio
- you need high-concurrency writes, since SQLite is single-writer

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: database-driver, database, concurrency
- domain: databases, developer-tools, backend
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: asyncio, sqlite, async-database, non-blocking-io
