From my experience on a fun project, it's fine for running your website, but if you need to edit data as values update, pulling down the db, making changes then uploading the DB will obviously not do. You'll need some sort of web interface like phpliteadmin; and if you're not running php well now you are. Unless you want to use a docker image, and now you're using docker.

I wish there was a real simple way to connect to a remote db like you do with postgres.
