## What it is
A generic object pool library for Go, a direct rewrite of Apache Commons Pool. It supports custom pooled object factories and rich lifecycle configuration including LIFO/FIFO ordering, validation, eviction, and blocking behavior.

## Use cases
- pool reusable database or network connections in Go
- limit concurrent resource usage with a bounded object pool
- reuse expensive objects instead of allocating repeatedly
- control object lifecycle with eviction and idle validation
- port Apache Commons Pool semantics to a Go project

## When to choose
- you need a battle-tested, Apache Commons Pool-style object pool in Go
- you need fine-grained control over pool sizing, eviction, and validation
- you want LIFO/FIFO pooling with blocking borrow semantics

## When to avoid
- you only need a simple channel-based semaphore or sync.Pool for temporary buffers
- your target runtime is not Go
- you need a connection pool specific to a particular database driver

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: caching, concurrency, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, backend, performance
- platform: go, cross-platform
- tags: object-pool, resource-pooling, apache-commons-pool, golang
