Connection Pooling with Elastic Beanstalk and Amazon RDS

Question

I have a Java application on Elastic Beanstalk and I am connecting directly to Amazon's RDS for every request, the response time is very long and I need to reduce this. I recently found out I need to do this through Connection Pooling and that Tomcat is capable of carrying this out. Basically, I need to know the following:

1) is Connection Pooling available for an application on elastic beanstalk?

2) If there is any documentation available for this?

3) If it were available through the Tomcat Server, can I configure tomcat directly and what would that affect any of the functions of Elastic Beanstalk?

thankYouuuuuuu :)

Answer 1

Connection pooling is not available as service, but Elastic Beanstalk is PAAS, you can use any Java libraries on your instance.

Such as The Tomcat JDBC Connection Pool

Connection pooling will not affect any functions of Elastic Beanstalk.
