About the year 2000, I wrote a web app in Perl that used a file-based hash as a database.
This came about because there wasn't any database on the server and sqlite hadn't come about.
This solution worked quite well for more than 20 years. The file grew to host hundreds of thousands or orders.
My only regret is that I should have charged more. The ROI is unbelievable, the amount I charged is a rounding error. The thing got replaced when the original owner passed away.
