How can I implement connection pooling in Node.js with Redis?

You can use the generic-pool library to manage Redis connection pooling in Node.js. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example.

Here's a simple example:

const redis = require('redis');
const { createPool } = require('generic-pool');

const factory = {
  create: () => {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      const client = redis.createClient();
      client.on('error', (err) => reject(err));
      resolve(client);
    });
  },
  destroy: (client) => {
    return new Promise((resolve) => {
      client.quit();
      resolve();
    });
  }
};

const pool = createPool(factory, { min: 2, max: 10 });

// Usage
pool.acquire().then((client) => {
  client.get('key', (err, result) => {
    console.log(result);
    pool.release(client);
  });
});

This code creates a connection pool for Redis clients.

What are the benefits of using connection pooling?

Connection pooling improves performance by reusing existing connections, reducing the overhead of establishing new connections.
