How does connection pooling improve application performance?

It reduces the overhead of repeatedly opening and closing database connections by maintaining a cache of open connections that can be reused, significantly lowering latency.

Can this skill help resolve 'Too many connections' errors?

Yes, it helps configure proper maximum pool sizes and connection lifecycle settings to prevent your application from exhausting the database server's connection limits.

Does it provide monitoring for connection pools?

The skill can suggest and implement monitoring for key metrics such as active connection counts, wait times, and error rates to ensure the health of your data layer.

Which database libraries does this skill support?

It supports a wide range of industry-standard libraries including HikariCP for Java, SQLAlchemy and psycopg2 for Python, and various poolers for Node.js and other major languages.
