HikariCP is a lightweight, high-performance JDBC connection pool for Java applications. It is a production-ready, 'zero-overhead' library widely used as the default connection pool in frameworks like Spring Boot.

Use cases

  • pool jdbc database connections in a java application
  • reduce database connection overhead in spring boot
  • improve database performance with a fast connection pool
  • manage connection lifecycle and timeouts for jdbc
  • replace an aging connection pool with a faster one

When to choose

  • you need a fast, reliable, production-proven jdbc connection pool on the jvm
  • you want a tiny dependency (~165Kb) with minimal configuration
  • you use Spring Boot or another framework that defaults to HikariCP

When to avoid

  • you are not using JDBC or the Java/JVM ecosystem
  • you need a reactive or non-blocking connection pool for R2DBC
