5,000+ inserts/sec: Thread-safe connection pooling and WAL mode

Think SQLite can't handle high concurrency? Think again. With Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) and wsqlite's thread-safe connection pool, you can achieve over 5,000 inserts per second with zero locked database errors.

Here is how you use ConnectionPool & Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) in production with wsqlite:

from pydantic import BaseModel
from wsqlite import WSQLite

class LogEntry(BaseModel):
    id: int
    message: str

# Configured with thread-safe connection pooling
db = WSQLite(
    LogEntry,
    "events.db",
    pool_size=20,
    min_pool_size=4,
    use_pool=True
)

# Ready for high-concurrency multi-threaded workers
db.insert(LogEntry(id=1, message="System initialized"))
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Why developers love wsqlite:

  • Define database tables using standard Pydantic v2 models.
  • Auto-syncs columns on startup without writing manual migrations.
  • Thread-safe connection pooling with WAL mode enabled by default (5,000+ inserts/sec).
  • Full sync and async/await support.

Installation & Repository

pip install wsqlite
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
