Question regarding mongo connection.

[SachinMaharana]

Hi,
Thanks for writing this up. I just wanted to clarify few things. I see that a connection is being opened to mongo when every route handle gets called. Is it is how it is working or i am wrong? If i am not wrong, is it effiecent?

Hi,

I'm using lazy_static macro. This will initialize it on first use, and only once but there is a lot of way to do this. You can use r2d2 connection pool manager or actix-web web::Data with Mutext and Arc. (but if you use actix-web)

Thanks for comment @SachinMaharana.

oh Cool! I did saw that but just wanted to clarify. Infact, i looked at r2d2-mongodb repo
https://gitlab.com/petoknm/r2d2-mongodb and apparently it is deprecated, recommending to use mongdb crate as its handles connection pool intenrally. Thanks anyway.
