Summary

get_db_client() in auth.py instantiates a new DatabaseClient on every call, bypassing the connection pool and exhausting database connections under load.

What to do

  • Create a module-level singleton DatabaseClient (or reuse the one from database.py if it exists).
  • Replace direct instantiation in get_db_client() with a reference to the singleton.
  • Ensure the client is initialized during app startup and closed on shutdown.

Acceptance criteria

  • get_db_client() returns the same pooled instance on every call.
  • Under concurrent load, connection count stays within the pool limit.
  • Existing tests continue to pass.

Already implemented. SPARC/database.py DatabaseClient uses psycopg2.pool.ThreadedConnectionPool with configurable minconn/maxconn parameters and a get_conn() context manager that checks out and returns connections from the pool.

Closing as completed.
