With no claims to suitability. Just back of envelope based on 400 write transactions per second.

-- Assume an employee filling out a form on a web site that takes on minute to complete.

-- Assume submits are randomly sent. (A bad assumption)

Per minute that's (1 * 60 * 400) 24,000 people submitting a form. Or over a million people submitting their form per hour. Nothing Google scale but enough for most any internal business application.

These are also likely just serialized commits per second. Parallelized non-blocking writes and/or using explicit micro-batching(SQLite supports batch inserts) and you'll be blowing most gov sites out of the water.
