Create new database with random name

It could be an option, or even the default, to create a database with random name (e.g. petname), so that concurrent processes by default do not tread on one another's toes.

Some care might be needed to avoid accidental collisions. CREATE DATABASE will error if one tries to create a database that already exists, so either it will need to recover from that, or need to look before it leaps.
