Hi,  
I am running the docker image with db.sqlite3 and it works great. It’s fast and responsive. Currently I’m a single user. Thinking about adding an organization, but concerned if db.sqlite3 can handle more than one user or would I need to run the version with mysql to handle multiple users?

Thank you.

I’d expect SQLite itself could handle thousands of users for this particular use case. You’re more likely to hit limitations in bitwarden\_rs connection handling before SQLite limits.

So does it make sense to use organizations with bitwarden\_rs? If so, how many users do you think it can comfortably support? I’m thinking maybe 2 to 3 including myself.

Thank you in advance for your continued support!

AFAIK, bitwarden\_rs wasn’t designed with scalability as a goal, and I’d expect the first limitation someone would hit probably involves the number of simultaneous WebSocket connections. I’d guess tens of users should be fine, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it could handle hundreds.

Thank you. This is good news. I’m not looking to self host for an entire company. I am thinking just for my family members, which would just be myself plus maybe 2 more. It sounds like it should handle it just fine.
