We are noticing some
[issues](https://ops.grafana-ops.net/goto/sQFLv4XSg?orgId=1) when
updating routes via Terraform because when receiving multiple concurrent
requests updating position, the order is updated in a transaction but it
is then tried to save again in the `.save` call, which could lead to
`IntegrityError`s, because the order may have been updated in a
concurrent request meanwhile.
Test run with the reproduced error (before the serializer update):
```
