Pedantry: Persistent connections are not the same as connection
pooling. With persistent connections, if a worker does not have a
currently open connection to the database, it will open a new one.
With a connection pool, it will retrieve an unused open connection
from the pool, which is shared amongst many processes.

Connection pools are not built in to django, but you can use external
software like pgbouncer to provide them.
