How can I implement connection pooling in Python with MongoDB?

To implement connection pooling in Python with MongoDB, you can use the pymongo library. First, install it using pip install pymongo. Then, you can create a connection pool using MongoClient.

Can you show me a code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from pymongo import MongoClient

# Create a connection pool with a maximum of 10 connections
client = MongoClient('mongodb://localhost:27017/', maxPoolSize=10)

db = client['mydatabase']
collection = db['mycollection']

# Now you can perform operations using the collection

What are the benefits of using connection pooling?

Connection pooling improves performance by reusing existing connections instead of creating new ones for each request, reducing latency.

Are there any downsides to using connection pooling?

Yes, potential downsides include increased memory usage and the need to manage the pool size to avoid exhausting database resources.
