Platform Database Pattern

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams prevent database connection pool exhaustion by enforcing a standardized db parameter pattern across functions.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Standard Function Signature with db=None to control connections
• Use conn = db or get_connection() to reuse or acquire connections safely
• Ensure resources are closed in a finally block, closing only when db is None to avoid leaks

Quick Start

Refactor a function to accept a db=None parameter and implement conn = db or get_connection() with proper try/finally cleanup.
