bb8

A full-featured connection pool, designed for asynchronous connections (using tokio). Originally based on r2d2.

Documentation

Opening a new database connection every time one is needed is both inefficient and can lead to resource exhaustion under high traffic conditions. A connection pool maintains a set of open connections to a database, handing them out for repeated use.

bb8 is agnostic to the connection type it is managing. Implementors of the ManageConnection trait provide the database-specific logic to create and check the health of connections.

A (possibly not exhaustive) list of adapters for different backends:

Backend	Adapter Crate
tokio-postgres	bb8-postgres
redis	bb8-redis
rsmq	rsmq_async
bolt-client	bb8-bolt
diesel	bb8-diesel
tiberius	[bb8-tiberius](https://crates.io/crates/bb8-tiberius]
nebula-graph-client	bb8-nebula-graph

Example

Using an imaginary "foodb" database.

fn main() {
    let manager = bb8_foodb::FooConnectionManager::new("localhost:1234");
    let pool = bb8::Pool::builder()
        .max_size(15)
        .build(manager)
        .unwrap();

    for _ in 0..20 {
        let pool = pool.clone();
        tokio::spawn(move || {
            let conn = pool.get().await.unwrap();
            // use the connection
            // it will be returned to the pool when it falls out of scope.
        })
    }
}
