Go Reference Build Status

Puddle

Puddle is a tiny generic resource pool library for Go that uses the standard context library to signal cancellation of acquires. It is designed to contain the minimum functionality required for a resource pool. It can be used directly or it can be used as the base for a domain specific resource pool. For example, a database connection pool may use puddle internally and implement health checks and keep-alive behavior without needing to implement any concurrent code of its own.

Features

  • Acquire cancellation via context standard library
  • Statistics API for monitoring pool pressure
  • No dependencies outside of standard library and golang.org/x/sync
  • High performance
  • 100% test coverage of reachable code

Example Usage

package main

import (
	"context"
	"log"
	"net"

	"github.com/jackc/puddle/v2"
)

func main() {
	constructor := func(context.Context) (net.Conn, error) {
		return net.Dial("tcp", "127.0.0.1:8080")
	}
	destructor := func(value net.Conn) {
		value.Close()
	}
	maxPoolSize := int32(10)

	pool, err := puddle.NewPool(&puddle.Config[net.Conn]{Constructor: constructor, Destructor: destructor, MaxSize: maxPoolSize})
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	// Acquire resource from the pool.
	res, err := pool.Acquire(context.Background())
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	// Use resource.
	_, err = res.Value().Write([]byte{1})
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	// Release when done.
	res.Release()
}

Status

Puddle is stable and feature complete.

  • Bug reports and fixes are welcome.
  • New features will usually not be accepted if they can be feasibly implemented in a wrapper.
  • Performance optimizations will usually not be accepted unless the performance issue rises to the level of a bug.

Supported Go Versions

puddle supports the same versions of Go that are supported by the Go project. For Go that is the two most recent major releases. This means puddle supports Go 1.19 and higher.
