Database
========

This is how I have ``src/settings/production.py`` (for now)::

  DATABASES = {
      "default": {
          "CONN_HEALTH_CHECKS": True,
          "ENGINE": "django.db.backends.postgresql",
          "HOST": get_env_variable("DATABASE_HOST"),
          "NAME": get_env_variable("DATABASE_NAME"),
          "PASSWORD": get_env_variable("DATABASE_PASS"),
          "PORT": get_env_variable("DATABASE_PORT"),
          "USER": get_env_variable("DATABASE_USER"),
          # "OPTIONS": {
          #    "pool": True,
          # },
      }
  }

.. warning:: Dramatiq seems to be losing it's database connection **alot**.
             I enabled pooling, but the common error is a 30 second timeout
             in the pool.
             I will disable the pool and enable ``CONN_HEALTH_CHECKS`` to see
             if the Dramatiq database connections become more reliable.
