That was per container, with 16 containers per data center, so would be a lot of DBA tickets to get something that large; SQLite scaled with the horizontal scaling of the app; and we did have a flaky network - something like one in 100,000 tcp connections would fail. And occasionally the whole network would just go away for a number seconds. And the persistent container storage was managed by the same storage team that managed storage for the DB team, so base scalability and availability high.
