MySQL Connection Pool Manager
JSON →A production-level Node.js wrapper for mysqljs/mysql that provides intelligent management and load balancing of MySQL connection pools. It automatically scales connections based on load, closes idle connections to prevent exhaustion of server max_connections, and supports instancing for custom clustering. Current stable version is 1.5.9, last updated in 2019. It requires mysql@>=2.14.0 <3.0.0 as a peer dependency and supports Node.js 8+. Key differentiators: automatic idle connection cleanup, dynamic configuration changes, and exported internal functions for custom scripts.
