Yes, SQLite can do concurrent. Of course, some locking/WAL scheme is used
(modern SQLite can do both). There are some limitations, and for databases
with many clients and things running over the network, classical client/
server DBs may have an edge:

SQLite is an awesome piece of software, arguably the one with the most
complete test suite (excepting perhaps some specialized domains).
