Limit database connections

This snippet demonstrates how to configure the connection pool by setting the maximum number of idle and open connections. Limiting connections helps manage database resources and can prevent your application from overwhelming the database server.

Code sample

Go

To authenticate to AlloyDB, set up Application Default Credentials. For more information, see Set up authentication for a local development environment.

// Set maximum number of connections in idle connection pool.
db.SetMaxIdleConns(5)

// Set maximum number of open connections to the database.
db.SetMaxOpenConns(7)
