It took me a long time to figure out why
idleTimeoutMillis
wasn't applying to all my connections. Some of them were kept open for hours, became stale and caused all sorts of trouble.After lots of debugging, I realised that the
min
option was the culprit, defaulting to 2 in Knex.The idle timeout is only applied if there are more connections than the minimum.
It seems like a good idea to document this behavior so others could figure it out more easily 🙂
