There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think this should toggle based on a dedicated env variable (perhaps env.DATABASE_BACKEND === 'mongodb' or even some form of env.WCA_STAGING_BACKEND being set to any truthy value?) instead of "guessing" whether DATABASE_URI is set or not.
If you do implement this change, then you can actually pass env.DATABASE_URI to client.url in the Sqlite adapter config (of course assuming that you pass it a sensible value in dev:staging runner in package.json)

I assume this won't deploy though because just importing
import { sqliteAdapter } from "@payloadcms/db-sqlite";will lead the server to crash because of needed libs if I remember correctly. We fixed that with some dynamic imports last time, but that would mean we have to go to a async config file again.Thoughts?
