To put a fine point on it, you'd be using a ZODB database in any case. The
question is whether you use a client-server *storage* like ZEO, RelStorage
or NEO, or use FileStorage.

You can use FileStorage if you have a *single process*, but that's usually
not a good idea because then you wouldn't be able to make a read-write
connection to the database from outside your web application without
stopping it.  You also wouldn't be able to increase the number of
application processes for scale or higher availability.
