Connection Pooling

Connection pooling is provided by the pool module, included in the playhouse extensions library. The pool supports:

• Timeout after which connections will be recycled.
• Upper bound on the number of open connections.

from playhouse.pool import PooledPostgresqlExtDatabase
db = PooledPostgresqlExtDatabase(
    'my_database',
    max_connections=8,
    stale_timeout=300,
    user='postgres')
class BaseModel(Model):
    class Meta:
        database = db

The following pooled database classes are available:

• PooledPostgresqlDatabase
• PooledPostgresqlExtDatabase
• PooledMySQLDatabase
• PooledSqliteDatabase
• PooledSqliteExtDatabase

For an in-depth discussion of peewee’s connection pool, see the Connection pool section of the playhouse documentation.
