generic-pool is a Node.js library providing a generic, Promise-based resource pool for reusing or throttling expensive resources like database connections. Users define a factory with create/destroy functions and configure min/max pool sizes, then acquire and release resources through the pool.

Use cases

• pool database connections in node.js
• throttle usage of expensive resources
• limit concurrent connections to a service
• reuse tcp or socket clients across requests
• manage a fixed set of worker resources with promises

When to choose

• you need a generic Promise-based pool for any resource type in Node.js
• your database driver has no built-in connection pooling
• you want to cap concurrent access to a costly external resource

When to avoid

• your database driver already includes its own connection pool
• you need pooling in a non-Node.js environment
• you need actively developed software with a maintained license
