Serverless in this situation means that you don't really have to provision or setup an actual server to handle the database, the client itself just need the ability to read and write an SQLite file.

Because many of the locking things are outsourced to the file system which acts as server for concurrent threads.

A server is something that listens for commands from various clients and executes them.
