Nothing small about it. This is terabytes of data and new files are added daily with new data. That's why we had to move it into S3. It was costing too much to store in SQL Server.

I only reach for SQLite when it's big. Otherwise, I'd prefer to just use the existing SQL Server infrastructure, or .csv.gz files in S3. Internally, I use the term "bulk data" for data sets that are stored in S3 because they were too big for SQL Server.
