I feared it would be something like a database. Trying to replicate
things seen under those workloads always seems to be challenging,
in part due to the system specific setups they seem to have.

I wonder if any of the benchmarking apps we have do a realistic
representation of what modern databases do. It might be a fun project
to take something like that and extend it to do random queries.
