Description

Production skipped the global Prisma cache, so separate Next.js server bundles could each create a five-connection pool. Overlapping containers exhausted Supabase’s fifteen-session pool during deployment. Cache the base client in production too, with a regression test using the real adapter.

No linked issue.

Type of change

  • Bug fix
  • Documentation update

How Has This Been Tested?

  • Local build
  • CI build
  • Lint
  • Typecheck
  • Unit tests: 2,156 passed
  • Manual testing: local PostgreSQL dropped from fifteen to five connections for three module instances; two fixed processes peaked at ten, with 120/120 queries passing.

Screenshots (if applicable)

Not applicable.

Checklist

  • Code follows project style
  • Self-review completed
  • Documentation updated
  • Local lint, typecheck and tests pass

Notes for reviewers

The first replacement must avoid overlapping the old process’s duplicate pools. Publish and pull the verified image before stopping the old app, then restore rolling updates after verification. Dependencies, schema and query behavior are unchanged.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Production server bundles now reuse a shared database client, helping limit duplicate database connections.
  • Documentation
    • Updated self-hosting guidance with connection-pool defaults, connection budgeting examples, and recommendations for replacing releases that do not reuse database clients.

Walkthrough

The Prisma client is now stored globally in every environment. Tests check connection setup and pool size. Self-hosting documentation describes pool limits and connection budgeting during overlapping releases.

Changes

Prisma client reuse and connection pooling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Global Prisma client and verification
src/server/db.ts, src/server/db.test.ts
The module stores basePrisma on the global in every environment. Tests check that production, development, and test each call PrismaPg.connect once and use a driver maximum of five connections.
Self-hosted connection budgeting
docs/SELF_HOSTING.md
The guidance describes shared Prisma clients, connection limits, pool budgeting across overlapping processes, and a non-overlapping first replacement when overlap headroom is insufficient.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "fix: reuse Prisma pools across production bundles" matches the main change. The PR caches the base Prisma client on the global object in production, so separate Next.js server bundles reuse one pool instead of each creating a five-connection pool. The title is short, specific, and uses the conventional fix: prefix.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description covers the problem, the fix, and a regression test. It also records test results and rollout notes. It omits the template's 'Fixes # (issue)' line, but it states 'No linked issue.' It checks Bug fix and Documentation update. The 'Local build' box is unchecked, but the author's note says a local build was not checked, which is disclosed. The 'Other' type and the Screenshots section are handled. Missing or partial items are minor. The author says the docs were updated, and the raw summary confirms that SELF_HOSTING.md changed.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 2 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

- Line 29: Update the connection-limit guidance in the self-hosting
documentation to qualify the five-connection default: explain that local-host
DATABASE_URL values without connection_limit leave the pool maximum unset and
pg-pool defaults to ten, or require connection_limit for local-proxy
deployments.

Failed pre-merge checks:
- Description check:
Restructure the description to follow the repository template. Add a 'Fixes #
(issue)' line, or state that no linked issue exists. Tick the 'Bug fix' type
under 'Type of change'. Move the test details into 'How Has This Been Tested?'
and mark the checks that were run (Local build, Lint, Typecheck, Unit tests,
Manual testing). Add the 'Screenshots (if applicable)' section, even if it reads
'Not applicable'. Complete the Checklist, including the documentation item,
since docs/SELF_HOSTING.md was changed. Add a 'Notes for reviewers' section if
there is any extra context, such as the non-overlapping replacement guidance for
the first release.

After applying the fix, consider running `coderabbit review --agent` for local
