#35672 closed Bug

Using database connection pooling raises PoolTimeout after a while — at Version 1

Description (last modified by André S. Hansen)

I am testing the new db connection pooling, which increased the performance greatly, typically lowering api response times from 30ms -> 20ms on my dev env.

However, after a while i started getting 

psycopg_pool.PoolTimeout : couldn't get a connection after 30.00 sec

It happened after 220 api calls within the span of 7minutes, which probably means x5-10 database calls.

This forces me to turn of connection pooling.

Using settings

{
   "ENGINE": os.environ.get("DB_ENGINE", "django.db.backends.postgresql"),
   "OPTIONS": {"pool": True}
}

Extra info:

  • Python 3.12.1
  • Django 5.1
  • psycopg 3.2.1
  • psycopg-pool 3.2.2
  • Local docker image hosted postgresql database using image "postgres"
