django-postgrespool 0.1.1

Postgres Connection Pooling for Django.

This is a simple Postgres Connection Pooling backend for Django, powered by the lovely and beautiful SQLAlchemy.

Experimental: use with caution.

Usage

Using Django-PostgresPool is simple, just set django_postgrespool as your connection engine:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django_postgrespool'

If you’re using the dj-database-url module:

import dj_database_url

DATABASES['default'] = dj_database_url.config()
DATABASES['default']['ENGINE'] = 'django_postgrespool'

Everything should work as expected.

Installation

Installing Django-PostgresPool is simple, with pip:

$ pip install django-postgrespool

Configuration

Optionally, you can provide additional options to pass to SQLAlchemy’s pool creation:

DATABASE_POOL_ARGS = {
    'max_overflow': 10,
    'pool_size': 5,
    'recycle': 300
}
