Description

# Description of feature
`sqlitedict` has not received any updates in 3 years, so we should probably look at other options. It also has some compatibility issues so we can look to other backends. However, it's not entirely clear to me what the requirements are, in terms of serialization, speed, stability, portability to other systems, and scalability to large datasets.

# Potential solution
I've no idea. Just throwing some names:
* [tinydb](https://github.com/msiemens/tinydb)
* [pickledb](https://github.com/patx/pickledb)

Research direction

The issue names sqlitedict and suggests tinydb and pickledb, but names no files or tests. Start by locating the current sqlitedict integration, then establish requirements for serialization, speed, stability, portability, and scalability; done means an agreed backend replacement and compatible implementation.
