The plain-English version
A managed set of connections reused across requests or jobs.
Why it matters
It reduces repeated connection setup and bounds how many concurrent connections an application opens.
Let’s make it click
A server borrows a connection for a short transaction and returns it afterward.
Vibe Bro’s heads-up
A larger pool does not automatically improve throughput; too many connections can overload the database or mask long-held transactions.

Supported: Pooling reuses bounded connections; larger pools do not inherently increase throughput.
