r2d2 but async

bb8

A generic connection pool, designed for asynchronous tokio-based connections. This is an asynchronous tokio-based version of 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 adaptors for different backends:

Backend	Adaptor Crate
tokio-postgres	bb8-postgres
redis	bb8-redis

Example

Using an imaginary "foodb" database.

use std::thread;

extern crate bb8;
extern crate bb8_foodb;

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();
        thread::spawn(move || {
            let conn = pool.get().unwrap();
            // use the connection
            // it will be returned to the pool when it falls out of scope.
        })
    }
}
