Release¶
AgileData.io - DataOps: Enhanced Database Connection Stability
We’ve fine-tuned our database connection handling to improve reliability, especially during high-traffic periods and cold starts.
What Changed:
Disabled Spanner metrics thread that was causing SSL errors during Cloud Run cold starts
Optimized session pool configuration for better performance
Improved session caching strategy for handling multiple simultaneous instances
Enhanced retry logic for SSL connection issues
Technical Details:
Set SPANNER_ENABLE_BUILTIN_METRICS_EXPORT to false to prevent conflicts
Configured session pool size for optimal performance
Implemented more effective session caching for cold start scenarios
Added retry mechanisms for transient SSL issues
What This Means for You:
More stable connections during peak usage times
Faster response times when the platform scales up to handle load
Reduced timeout errors and connection issues
Smoother overall platform performance
This optimization work ensures the platform remains responsive and reliable even as usage grows.
