Build a Lightweight Flask and SQLite Backend for Local Tools

For small web backends and internal admin tools, Flask and SQLite can keep development fast without adding heavy dependencies. This basic setup uses Flask for routing and SQLite for storing structured records in a local database file. SQLite needs no separate database server, is easy to set up, and performs well for small to medium workloads. The example can be extended with proper database initialisation, error handling, parameterised queries, and environment-based debug settings. What lightweight stack do you use for quick micro-tools and local data persistence?
