Node.js Mongodb-native driver connection sharing

Question

main.js

var http = require(\'http\');
var UserModel = require(\'./models/user.js\');
var server = http.createServer(function(req, res){         


        

Answer 1

I'm currently using a global connection with multiple http requests. In the past I created a complex library that was creating several connections to MongoDB and picking up one randomly for each connection.

Later I found that the native driver can do that for me, which is pretty neat. Currently I'm using a single object, and the driver chooses to which connection send the query.

var srvOpts = {
    auto_reconnect: true,
    poolSize: 10,
};

var conn = new Mongo.Server("localhost", 27017, srvOpts),
    db = new Mongo.Db("dbname", conn, {});

db.open(function (){});

As you can this is a great idea, I'm thinking to copy that idea into the Redis driver that I'm using, but I'm short on time so I doubt that I will do any time soon.
