What is meant by connection pool?
Connection pooling is a technique of creating and managing a pool of connections that are ready for use by any thread that needs them. Connection pooling can greatly increase the performance of your Java application, while reducing overall resource usage.
What is HikariCP connection pool?
Summary. “HikariCP is solid high-performance JDBC connection pool. A connection pool is a cache of database connections maintained so that the connections can be reused when future requests to the database are required. Connection pools may significantly reduce the overall resource usage.” – You can find out more here.
What is connection pool in DataSource?
DataSource objects that implement connection pooling also produce a connection to the particular data source that the DataSource class represents. The connection object that the getConnection method returns is a handle to a PooledConnection object rather than being a physical connection.
Should I close a pooled DB connection?
Yes, certainly you need to close the pooled connection as well. It’s actually a wrapper around the actual connection. It wil under the covers release the actual connection back to the pool.
How many connection pools are there?
You can calculate how many connections you can handle by the number of CPU cores you have available. You should have at least one connection per core, but make sure you are not overloading each core. A good number of connections to aim for is three to five times the available CPU cores, depending on your workload.
How does connection pool help?
Using connection pools helps to both alleviate connection management overhead and decrease development tasks for data access. Each time an application attempts to access a backend store (such as a database), it requires resources to create, maintain, and release a connection to that datastore.
How do I know what size connection pool to get?
For optimal performance, use a pool with eight to 16 connections per node. For example, if you have four nodes configured, then the steady-pool size must be set to 32 and the maximum pool size must be 64. Adjust the Idle Timeout and Pool Resize Quantity values based on monitoring statistics.
Which connection pool is best for spring boot?

How do I improve my connection pool?
To increase the JDBC connection pool size:

- Click Apply.
What is the maximum connection pool size?
The Default Connection Pool Size is 100 . You can increase the pool size using ‘Max Pool Size’ property in the connection string. for example – Max Pool Size=1000; If you are using the Azure SQL server, the number of concurrent connection will depends on SQL Server Tier that you are using.
