HikariCP Connection Pooling in Java | JDBC Performance Boost (Practical Guide) | Part 5.

In this video, we implement HikariCP Connection Pooling in Java — the same high-performance pool used internally by Spring Boot. In the previous video, we learned why creating a new DB connection every time is dangerous. Now, we solve that problem using real backend engineering practices. What you’ll learn in this video: What is HikariCP and why it’s the fastest connection pool How to add HikariCP dependency (Maven) How to configure connection pool settings How to replace DriverManager with pooled connections How connection pooling works internally Key Concepts Explained: Maximum Pool Size Minimum Idle Connections Connection Timeout Idle Timeout This is exactly how modern Java backend systems are built in production.
