Prototype-scoped Bean Instance in Spring

Connection Pooling in the Cloud
Spring apps are usually deployed to Cloud Foundry with the Java Buildpack (if no explicit buildpack is mentioned, it would be used as the default buildpack for Java apps). The Java buildpack uses its Spring Auto-reconfiguration framework to automatically reconfigure an application to use configured cloud services. It also adds the “cloud” profile as an active Spring profile for the application. This framework has its copy of Spring cloud connectors, which, along with other things, initialises a Pooled datasource with a size of 4 and maxWaitTime of 30,000. This is done to be compatible with cloud providers’ limited free-tier services. This setting is usually sufficient for any test or demo projects. But for any serious application, it is best to customise this per application-needs.

Stop, Revive, Survive!

Instead, I want to mention this to announce that I have revived my blog, which has been dormant for quite some time. Well, many things changed in my life since the last post. The most notable is that I am the proud father of an almost 5-year-old boy, Yusha and a 4-month-old girl, Amina.
