The readme does not mention anything about sqlite3.

• asyncpg version:
• PostgreSQL version:
• Do you use a PostgreSQL SaaS? If so, which? Can you reproduce
  the issue with a local PostgreSQL install?:
• Python version:
• Platform:
• Do you use pgbouncer?:
• Did you install asyncpg with pip?:
• If you built asyncpg locally, which version of Cython did you use?:
• Can the issue be reproduced under both asyncio and
  uvloop?:

Hey, I have not installed this yet. But a friend told me to use this instead of the sqlite3 module in the standard library. The readme does not help with explaining why they recommend this instead of sqlite3 with asycio + aiohttp + discord.py + it’s other dependencies. I would understand things like how fast it opens a large db file or reading data from a large table though. The image also does not compare between the speeds of this library vs. the sqlite3 module in the standard library.

Even though I do use async I still prefer standard library over some dependency that has the same performance and similar functionality as the sqlite3 module. I look forward to replacing my code that abuses the json module beyond it’s limits with something like his and transplace the current data to the db(s).

I suggest you to ask your friend why he said what he said.

The title of this repository is "fast PostgreSQL Database Client Library for Python/asyncio", it explains pretty clearly what asyncpg does. It's not our job to advocate for Postgres over other databases.
