The database had a lot of free pages due to a large number of row deletes over time. The Laravel Pulse package was the main cause of these deletes (recording entries and then deleting them after a period), but cache, jobs, etc also contributed to the free space that could be truncated off the file.

Yes. Pinkary is currently using Laravel Pulse, saving entries to the production database (which is sqlite).
