Description

In Django, CONN_MAX_AGE helps with persistent connections, but it doesn’t provide true connection pooling like you’d get with SQLAlchemy in FastAPI or similar frameworks.

In contrast, SQLAlchemy gives you:

  • Configurable pool sizes
  • Queueing and timeout behavior
  • Recycle/reconnect logic
  • Pool health insights

This makes a huge performance difference for apps with high concurrency, short-lived processes (e.g. in serverless), or async workflows.
