The fix appears to nicely asking the forgetful unreliable agent to please (very closely pretty please!) follow the deploy instructions (and also please never hallucinate or mess up, because statistics tells us an entity with no long term memory and no incentive to get everything right will do the job right 99.99999999% of the time, which is good enough to run an eshop) not deploy too often per hour.
With one simple instruction the system (99.9999% of the time) gains the handy property that “only” two processes end up with the database files open at once.

I've a busy app, i just deploy to canary. And use loadbalancer to move 5% traffic to it, i observe how it reacts and then rollout the canary changes to all.

Wait, you push straight to main?

Wait, you let _Claude_ push your e-commerce code straight to main which immediately results in a production deploy?
Patient: doctor, my app loses data when I deploy twice during a 10 minute interval!
Doctor: simply do not do that
Doctor: solution is simple, stop letting that stupid clown Pagliacci define how you do your work!
Patient: but doctor,

Thanks for the vibes!

This is becoming the new overused LLM goto expression for describing basic concepts.

More simply:
vs:> Backups are cp production.sqlite3 backup.sqlite3
I use gobackup[0] as another container in compose.yml file which can backup to multiple locations.

how hard and complex is it to roll out postgres?
