Poolboy - A hunky Erlang worker pool factory

Build Status

Support via Gratipay

Poolboy is a lightweight, generic pooling library for Erlang with a focus on simplicity, performance, and rock-solid disaster recovery.

Usage

1> Worker = poolboy:checkout(PoolName).
<0.9001.0>
2> gen_server:call(Worker, Request).
ok
3> poolboy:checkin(PoolName, Worker).
ok

Example

This is an example application showcasing database connection pools using Poolboy and epgsql.

    {description, "An example application"},

Options

  • name: the pool name
  • worker_module: the module that represents the workers
  • size: maximum pool size
  • max_overflow: maximum number of workers created if pool is empty
  • strategy: lifo or fifo, determines whether checked in workers should be placed first or last in the line of available workers. So, lifo operates like a traditional stack; fifo like a queue. Default is lifo.
