Is it safe to use Aws::SQS::Client with a ConnectionPool?

[wuarmin]

Hey,

I want to use Aws::SQS::Clients with the help of a ConnectionPool (https://github.com/mperham/connection_pool). So the question: Is this possible? Are the Aws::SQS::Clients self-repairing? Otherwise you end up with a pool of broken clients.

Thank you and best regards

All of the Client classes use our connection pool logic here: https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-ruby/blob/version-3/gems/aws-sdk-core/lib/seahorse/client/net_http/connection_pool.rb

Is there something specific about this connection pool that does not suit your use case?

Hey @mullermp,
thank you for your response. Oh, I overlooked that a pool logic is already used here. So Aws::SQS::Client can be reused in a threaded environment for as long as necessary, right? Or do you have to consider something else?

Thank you and best regards

The client is thread safe. It's best practice to create one client and reuse it.

Great, thanks!
