SUMMARY:Database Connection Pool Sizing - Demystified!
DESCRIPTION:This talk addresses a common misconception in Oracle applicatio
 n development: that larger connection pools in the backend automatically l
 ead to better performance. While this belief is widespread\, experienced D
 BAs understand that oversized connection pools can actually harm performan
 ce. The presentation provides an introduction to connection pool sizing fo
 r backend developers of all seniority levels\, explaining the reasons why 
 excessively large pools negatively impact system throughput and resource e
 fficiency.A key part of the discussion focuses on mathematical principles 
 behind connection pool behavior\, including Kingman&#39\;s law\, which mod
 els queueing delays\, to illustrate how adding more connections can increa
 se waiting times rather than reduce them. The talk also covers the mathema
 tical foundations for sizing connection pools optimally based on workload 
 and resource constraints.By the end of the session\, attendees will be equ
 ipped with practical formulas and guidelines to calculate the appropriate 
 size for their connection pools. This knowledge will enable them to guide 
 application teams towards resizing their pools in a way that maximizes per
 formance\, stability\, and efficient resource use\, rather than simply inc
 reasing pool size in hopes of improving it.\nSpeakers: Jasmin Fluri\nTrack
