 This is the database adapter that the frontend uses to display results. The results are stored whenever a benchmark is run.
 
-Below you can find instructions for using either Postgres or SQLite.
+Below you can find instructions for using either Postgres or SQLite. By default Best uses a local SQLite file, however we recommend using Postgres if you are running on anything other than your local machine.
 
-## Postgres
+## SQLite
+SQLite is configured by default, but if you would like to provide a custom path you can use the following configuration.
 
 ### Config
 Inside your `best.config.js` you need to have the following:
 ```
 {
     apiDatabase: {
-        adapter: 'sql/postgres',
-        path: 'postgresql://dbuser:secretpassword@database.server.com:3211/mydb
+        adapter: 'sql/sqlite',
+        uri: 'PATH_TO_SQLITE_DB'
     }
 }
 ```
 
-For Postgres, you need to provision and manage your own database.
-
-### Migrations
-In order to run the migrations required for the database you can run the following command:
-
-```
-yarn migrate:postgres up
-```
+You do not need to create your own sqlite file, the adapter will handle that for you.
