| Best use | For documentation authors and small teams checking references locally or in CI. Start with a specific file and interpret findings; it does not establish complete site or login functionality. | Best for an analyst, developer, or small team that needs to inspect and join large data files and rerun analysis locally. It adds reviewable SQL without database-server setup. It is not a multi-user transactional database for many small concurrent writes from separate processes. | Best for an individual developer or small team that needs encrypted, testable backups of project files and exported database dumps. It works with local or remote storage and can be scheduled by the operating system. It does not replace application-consistent database exports or recovery testing. |
