Recommended action: Keep write transactions short; set transaction_mode='IMMEDIATE' (Django 5.1+) or BEGIN IMMEDIATE; raise the timeout option; consider WAL journal mode via init_command PRAGMA; or move to a client-server database for real concurrency.
Option: Use IMMEDIATE transactions [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Django >= 5.1 on SQLite with concurrent writers
Steps:
1. DATABASES['default']['OPTIONS']['transaction_mode']='IMMEDIATE'
2. Keep transactions short; avoid ATOMIC_REQUESTS
Expected: Writers queue for up to timeout instead of failing immediately on lock upgrade
Option: Switch to a client-server database [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Real multi-writer workloads
Steps:
1. Change backend to PostgreSQL/MySQL
Expected: No single-writer lock contention
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
