Correct, because we chose MySQL as the database backend, both Django and Flask are punished for not having a connection pool. We've received requests to do the test using Postgres which does have a connection pool, and we hope to eventually get to that.

What are your using for db access? If you are using SQLAlchemy or Flask-SQLAlchemy, that should automatically do connection pooling.

Flask-SQLAlchemy does not use a pool by default. This can be changed by setting the `SQLALCHEMY_POOL_SIZE` config variable though.
