Integrating a Connection Pooler: Different Approaches
- Built-in Support: Many ORMs come with built-in support for connection pooling. Using the built-in mechanism is the simplest way to get started.
- External Pooling Libraries: For ORMs that do not support pooling or if we require more advanced features, we can use external libraries like HikariCP (for Java) or PGBouncer (for PostgreSQL databases).
- Database-Side Pooling: Some databases offer their connection pooling capabilities. While this is not directly related to ORM, it can be a complementary strategy.
How to Use ORM Connection Pooling Effectively
In software development, efficient database connection management is important for optimal performance and scalability. Object–Relational Mapping (ORM) has revolutionized database interactions, simplifying SQL queries. However, even with advanced ORM frameworks, poor connection management can impact performance.
In this article, We will learn about the ORM connection pooling technique, a key optimization for database access, How to Create a Pooled Connection, the Effects of Increasing Connections on a Database Server, and so on.
