Access the connection pool

you can get the connection pool using this code:

from django_valkey.async_cache import get_valkey_connection

async def get_connection():
    r = await get_valkey_connection("default")  # use the name defined in ``CACHES`` settings
    connection_pool = r.connection_pool
    print(f"created connections so far: {connection_pool._created_connections}")

this will verify how many connections the pool has opened.
