Bloomberg [1] uses SQLite in a custom distributed RDBMS engine of theirs in a way I lack the knowledge to completely understand its design.
I remember Richard Hipp mentioning Bloomberg in one of his interviews (don't ask me which one, I don't remember), that they use SQLite to serve billions of bank transaction on a daily basis without a problem.

Update: I have found the following paper that describes the engine in greater detail: http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol9/p1377-scotti.pdf http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol9/p1377-scotti.pdf
- endisneigh 4y agoSQLite has been used on top of a lot of things, including FoundationDB (https://apple.github.io/foundationdb/architecture.html https://apple.github.io/foundationdb/architecture.html). That's different than using the DB directly though.
- jdright 4y agoThat is what "foundational" means.
- sally1620 4y agoAfter reading the paper, I see that it is not built on top of SQLite, but shares some components with SQLite.
