Hello,

I am in the process of building a controller which has multiple endpoints. Sometimes 2 endpoints are called within milliseconds of each other, these endpoints will create a customer if one doesn't already exist in the database. I tried to use time.sleep() to delay one of the threads but I have realised that the request.env variable does not get notified/updated when a process is carried out on another env variable. 

Is there any way to update the environment in a sense?

I see two other ways of potentially doing this which are:

1. Querying the database directly with SQL commands

2. Creating the data in a custom model which will then be picked up by a Cron job so they are all on the same thread, thus the same environment. 

Both of these options create a bit more work than I would like compared to finding a way to update the environment. 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, 

EDIT: 

When I run: env.cr.commit() it seems to work but after reading this I am not sure whether this would be safe. 

When I start with env.cr.autocommit(True) this seems to work as well and I am not manually committing each time, could anyone spread some light on any risks related to cr.autocommit?

Or is only turned off by default to save on speed and memory?
