Hello SQLAlchemists, What is (or what do you think is) the load that SQLAlchemy can handle with the default engine options of pool_size=5 and max_overflow=10? The application I'm working on has the potential for bursts of thousands of requests in a few seconds, so I am concerned about load.
Is it appropriate to increase these values to some arbitrary number? I see that you can set max_overflow to -1 so that it creates as many connections as needed, but do you think that would be necessary (or bad practice)? Thanks for any advice about this, I'm trying to understand the nature of connections and the QueuePool implementation to avoid load problems when we go live. Any simple way to script exceeding the QueuePool limit quickly for load testing? Thanks for the help, much appreciated. And also, I've wanted to throw out a huge thank you to the developers ... on top of SQLAlchemy being extremely robust and powerful, the SQLAlchemy documentation is impeccable. Better than most all other open source software ... *awesome* ... so, thank you. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
