About The Project
Thread safe TCP Connection Pooling package in golang. For a server, a pool of connections can be maintained so requests to that server can use an available connection in the pool rather than waiting on initiating a connection. Using existing connections delivers requests to that server faster, and decreases connection setup and tear-down overhead. Connection Pooling also reduces the server load, which frees resources to handle other important tasks.

if pool, err := TCPconnPool.CreateConnectionPool(5, 30); err != nil {
log.Fatal("error in creation of connection pool")
}

log.Fatal("error in retriving a connection")
}
...
...
// Putting a connection back into the pool, does not close the underlying connection.
