Can this skill help with database timeout errors?

Yes, it identifies optimal connection timeout and lifetime settings to prevent indefinite waiting and ensure stale connections are recycled properly.

Does it include monitoring for connection pools?

Yes, the skill can implement logic to track key metrics such as connection usage, wait times, and failure rates to help you maintain system health.

Which databases and languages are supported?

The skill supports major databases like PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQL Server, providing configurations for popular libraries in Java, Python, and other common languages.

How does connection pooling improve application performance?

It reduces the overhead of creating new database connections for every request by reusing a pre-allocated pool of active connections, significantly lowering latency.
