Pausing requests then running two sqlites momentarily probably won’t prevent corruption. It might make it less likely and harder to catch in testing.

The easiest approach is to kill sqlite, then start the new one. I’d use a unix lockfile as a last-resort mechanism (assuming the container environment doesn’t somehow break those).

I'm saying you pause requests, shut down one of the SQLite containers, start up the other one and un-pause.
