MySQL vs SQLite For Production Website?

I am working on a small project using the django framework. I have a choice
of backends - mysql, postgress, sqlite. The web site will have low traffic,
and 90% of the assets are scanned images (pdf, tiff, jpeg), so they will be
stored in a file system and not in the database. The framework/database are
for tags and search terms (ocr from pdfs) and user login credentials.

I am inclined to use the sqlite backend so the site uses fewer resources
and to make backups easier. However, I have never used sqlite in a
production environment. According to the sqlite website, it is production
ready.

Would you recommend sqlite for a production website?

Thanks,

Mark
