This is not currently possible; however, the usage of SQLite is quite
minimal. Have you done any load testing that shows it is actually a
bottleneck, or are you speculating at this point? Certainly there will be a
point where it may become an issue, but I have no idea at present if that's
at 30 users or 300.
