Question - how to configure Tortoise for transparent auto-reconnect? about tortoise-orm

[abondar]

Tortoise does not have explicit support for connection retries, we had something like that long ago, but scraped it in favour of pooling used in db clients
I am not sure what would be right course of action here, as we expect that pools sort that themselves

You can share your configuration and examples of errors, may be I will be able to look into it, but not sure if we will change something

I'm now configuring Tortoise with a higher maximum pool size.

@abondar or anyone else, can you recommend best practice in cases where a Tortoise-based program suffers an unexpected shutdown of the underlying PostgreSQL database it's connected to?

What I'm currently doing is catching ConnectedRefusedError when attempting transactions. When this occurs, I'm rolling back partially completed processing, then terminating the process, to let systemd start it up again. On restart, my process sits in a loop repeatedly calling Tortoise.generate_schemas() then sleeping until this call succeeds.

Surely there's a better way. Keen for your suggestions.
