Server-side connection resource pooling

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause said one or more processors to perform steps comprising:

• receiving, at a server-side connection broker from a client process, a request for a connection to a server, said request for a connection being sent via a network transport connection between the client process and the server-side connection broker;
• in response to said request,
• said server-side connection broker selecting a server connection from a pool of server connections, wherein said server connection comprises a thread of execution;
• handing-off said network transport connection between the client process and the server-side connection broker to the server connection to (1) establish said server connection to be an end point for said network transport connection and to (2) bypass said server-side connection broker within said network transport connection while said server connection is the end point of said network transport connection;
• receiving, at said server connection and from said client process via said network transport connection, a request for one or more server operations;
• and
• said server connection performing said one or more server operations and returning a corresponding result to said client process via said network transport connection;
• and
• after said result is returned, handing-back said network transport connection to said server-side connection broker to establish the server-side connection broker to be the end point for said network transport connection and cause said server-side connection broker to listen for further requests via said network transport connection.
