Should I reuse the connection on Redis or close it after every use?

I just need to ask a question, it's my first time using go, and have been working on a little project of mine that uses: https://github.com/hibiken/asynq

• Redis

  32 19,254 8.9 Go

  Redis Go client

  

Asynq uses https://github.com/go-redis/redis in order to connect to Redis. Whenever you create a client using go-redis, the client internally manages a connection pool, so when you need to execute a command in Redis the client just retrieves a connection from the pool and uses it. After using it, the connection is released and it goes back to the pool (no need to say that the Redis client is thread-safe).
