Includes its own copy of sqlite3, you don't use the system one, which is good to ensure compatibility. The version is shown at: https://github.com/mapbox/node-sqlite3/blob/918052b538b0effe6c4a44c74a16b2749c08a0d2/deps/common-sqlite.gypi#L3 <SQLite> source is tracked compressed in-tree: https://github.com/mapbox/node-sqlite3/blob/918052b538b0effe6c4a44c74a16b2749c08a0d2/deps/sqlite-autoconf-3360000.tar.gz horrendous. This explains why it takes forever to clone that repository. People who don't believe in git submodules, there's even an official Git mirror at: https://github.com/sqlite/sqlite
It appears to spawn its own <threads> via its <C (programming language)> extension (since <JavaScript is single threaded> and and <SQLite> is not <server>-based), which allows for parallel queries using multiple threads: https://github.com/mapbox/node-sqlite3/blob/v5.0.2/src/threading.h
