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.
