Not really.

All databases tend to struggle to under contention. If you are an application author building a high-scale app, you need to avoid contention by design. That single counter row you were planning to increment on every visit? Bad idea; maybe insert a new visit record instead.

The contention in this example is an aspect of the test design, not database design. You wouldn't try to build an app this way.
