Description

Jökull Sólberg asks the following:

Could it be an optional dependency? Because Vercel installs better-sqlite3 and it slows down the build process significantly.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect package.json to find where better sqlite3 is listed as a dependency. Identify all imports of better sqlite3 in the codebase and ensure they are conditionally imported using try/catch or dynamic import so that they only load when the package is available. Update package.json to move better sqlite3 to optionalDependencies and adjust the build process to not fail if missing.
