Best practices for configuring SQLite WAL mode in multi-process Python applications?

Hey devs, quick architectural question regarding localized storage pipelines.

I have a background data scraping script written in Python that logs continuous network transaction payloads down into a local SQLite instance on a Linux box. To prevent write-heavy operations from locking up the file system or blocking simultaneous read streams, I recently enabled Write-Ahead Logging (PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL;).

While read operations have speed up significantly, I am noticing some minor database latency when running multiple worker checkpoints simultaneously.

Are there any specific connection timeout thresholds, checkpoint intervals, or thread-safety parameters (like locking_mode or synchronous configurations) that I should enforce inside my Python scripts to guarantee absolute data preservation without deadlocks?

Any insights or boilerplate config snippets would be highly appreciated!

Looking for an open-source Linux alternative to automate cron jobs via a clean UI

Hey everyone, I am currently setting up a localized environment on an EndeavourOS system. I have a few custom Python scripts that handle localized database backups and file indexing tasks.

Right now, I am managing them through standard native crontabs, but I'm looking for a robust open-source automation tool or middleware stack that offers a clean, minimal UI layout to track job execution, logging states, and potential runtime faults visually.

Does anyone have recommendations for stable lightweight tools that run well locally on Linux without heavy enterprise cloud overhead? Thanks!
