EctoConnectionResetter

An OTP process that allows a user to add one line to create a cron job to call disconnect all every X minutes.

Usage

In your application.ex, add:

def start(_type, _args) do
  ...

  children = [
    ...
    {EctoConnectionResetter, %{cycle_mins: 1, close_interval: 1, repo: YourRepo}}
  ]

  ...
end

where:

• cycle_mins: number of minutes between each cycle;
• close_interval: seconds to close once a disconnect_all is called;
• repo: your Repo;
• verbose: (optional) log additional text when spawning the lib's OTP process and when scheduling the next resetting. Default is false;
• reset_callback: (optional) function to be called every time connections are reset in the pool (e.g. useful for APM metrics).
