Django persistent database connection

Solution 1:

Django 1.6 has added persistent connections support (link to doc for latest stable Django ):

Persistent connections avoid the overhead of re-establishing a connection to the database in each request. They’re controlled by the CONN_MAX_AGE parameter which defines the maximum lifetime of a connection. It can be set independently for each database.

Solution 2:

Try PgBouncer - a lightweight connection pooler for PostgreSQL. Features:

• Several levels of brutality when rotating connections:
  • Session pooling
  • Transaction pooling
  • Statement pooling
• Low memory requirements (2k per connection by default).
