## What it is
Deadpool is a dead simple, async-await connection/object pool implementation for Rust. It provides pool managers for databases like PostgreSQL, Redis, and SQLite, plus a generic pool for arbitrary objects.

## Use cases
- pool database connections in an async rust app
- manage postgres connections with tokio
- reuse redis connections across requests
- generic object pooling for async rust
- limit concurrent connections to a service

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight async pool for rust with tokio or async-std
- you want ready-made managers for postgres, redis, sqlite, or lapin
- you prefer a simple, minimal pool over heavyweight frameworks

## When to avoid
- you use sqlx or diesel with their built-in pooling
- you need a synchronous (blocking) pool
- your runtime is not tokio/async-std compatible

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: database, concurrency, database-driver
- domain: databases, developer-tools, backend
- platform: rust
- tags: connection-pool, async, tokio, object-pooling
