activerecord-refresh_connection

Refresh ActiveRecord connection on each rack request

Installation

Add the following to your Gemfile:

gem 'activerecord-refresh_connection'

And then execute:

$ bundle

How to Use

This gem provides a rack middleware ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::RefreshConnectionManagement which disconnects all connections in each rack request, which results in refreshing all connections in each rack request.

Rails 5

NOTE: activerecord-refresh_connection does not work with puma, and webrick server in rails 5.

# config/application.rb
class Application < Rails::Application
  config.middleware.insert_before ActionDispatch::Executor,
    ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::RefreshConnectionManagement

  ## If you would like to clear connections after 5 requests:
  # config.middleware.insert_before ActionDispatch::Executor,
  #   ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::RefreshConnectionManagement, max_requests: 5
end

Middleware check.

bundle exec rake middleware

Use unicorn server to run your application.

Rails 4

NOTE: activerecord-refresh_connection does not work with puma server in rails 4.

Swap the default rails ConnectionManagement.

# config/application.rb
class Application < Rails::Application
  config.middleware.swap ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::ConnectionManagement,
    "ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::RefreshConnectionManagement"

  ## If you would like to clear connections after 5 requests:
  # config.middleware.insert_before ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::ConnectionManagement,
  #   "ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::RefreshConnectionManagement", max_requests: 5
  # config.middleware.delete ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::ConnectionManagement
end

Middleware check.

bundle exec rake middleware

Sinatra

# config.ru
require 'activerecord-refresh_connection'

use ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::RefreshConnectionManagement

## If you would like to clear connections after 5 requests:
# use ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::RefreshConnectionManagement, max_requests: 5

run App
