Yep, is an embeded database. Back the the days they were the only type of databases.

SqlLite is good for low devices or small storage data, it is heavily used on mobile apps for example, but I would not use it for a web service.

The embeded DBs are indeed used in intensive data, large scale services, as a local buffer, see RocksDB (a Facebook fork of LevelDB).
