Use this Instead of SQlite on Vercel

Is SQLite Supported on Vercel? 💾
No, SQLite is not officially supported by Vercel for production applications because of its reliance on the local filesystem. Vercel's serverless functions are stateless and run in a read-only environment, meaning any changes to the local filesystem are discarded after the function's execution. This makes it impossible to persist the SQLite database file between function invocations. Vercel source
While you might be able to get a read-only SQLite database to work by including the database file in your deployment bundle, any attempt to write to it will fail. This limitation makes SQLite unsuitable for most dynamic web applications on the Vercel platform.
