🚧 What needs to be done

The refiner app code currently does not do any connection pooling. It opens and closes a single connection. In order to ensure the app is production ready we will want to switch over to a connection pooling setup.

🤔 Why it needs to be done

Opening and closing connections is a heavy process. We want to avoid this when possible and instead grab an open, available connection from the pool.

🏗️ Acceptance Criteria

• Pooling has been configured
• App has been restructured as needed
• Tests updated as needed
