Answer
Connection pools improve performance by reusing existing connections.
A connection pool manages a pool of database connections that can be reused, reducing the overhead of establishing new connections. This is particularly beneficial in high-traffic applications like e-commerce platforms, where opening and closing many connections quickly can degrade performance and increase latency.
