The implementation is a fully adaptive connection pool with all requested features. Here's how each component works:

Key Code Components

1. Circuit Breaker (pool.go lines 150-212)

Three states tracked per endpoint. On Acquire, maybeProceed() checks if the request is allowed. On Release (via the release closure), success/failure transitions the state:

// From releaseFn closure in Acquire (simplified):
if err != nil {
    es.failureCount++
    if es.state == StateHalfOpen {
        // A failure during half-open → back to open
        es.state = StateOpen
    } else if es.state == StateClosed && es.failureCount >= cfg.FailureThreshold {
        es.state = StateOpen
    }
} else {
    if es.state == StateHalfOpen {
        es.halfOpenSuccesses++
        if es.halfOpenSuccesses >= cfg.HalfOpenMaxRequests {
            // Recovered!
            es.state = StateClosed
            es.failureCount = 0
        }
    } else if es.state == StateClosed {
        es.failureCount = 0 // reset on success
    }
}

Half-open probing is driven by maybeProceed(): when the recovery timeout has elapsed since the last failure, the state auto-transitions from Open → HalfOpen. Only HalfOpenMaxRequests probes are allowed through.

2. Exponential Backoff (pool.go lines 240-253)

Used in ExecuteWithRetry. Base duration × 2^(attempt-1) with ±25% jitter, capped at MaxBackoff:

func (p *Pool) backoffDuration(attempt int) time.Duration {
    exp := math.Pow(2, float64(attempt-1))
    d := time.Duration(float64(p.config.BaseBackoff) * exp)
    if d > p.config.MaxBackoff {
        d = p.config.MaxBackoff
    }
    jitter := time.Duration(float64(d) * (0.75 + 0.5*rand.Float64()))
    return jitter
}

3. Adaptive Resizing (pool.go lines 274-320)

A background goroutine runs every ResizeInterval and adjusts per-endpoint targetConns: - Shrink when P95 or P50 exceed configured targets (latency too high → reduce concurrency) - Grow when queue depth is positive (backlog building → increase capacity)

func (p *Pool) resize() {
    p50, p95, _ := p.latencyPercentiles()
    p.endpoints.Range(func(key, value any) bool {
        es := value.(*endpointState)
        es.mu.Lock()
        desired := es.targetConns

        if p95 > p.config.TargetLatencyP95 {
            desired = max(cfg.MinConnections, desired/2)      // aggressive shrink
        } else if p50 > p.config.TargetLatencyP50 {
            desired = max(cfg.MinConnections, desired*3/4)   // moderate shrink
        }
        if es.queueDepth > 0 {
            ratio := float64(es.queueDepth) / float64(cfg.MaxQueueDepth)
            desired = min(cfg.MaxConnections, desired + int(ratio*float64(desired)) + 1)
        }
        es.targetConns = clamp(desired, cfg.MinConnections, cfg.MaxConnections)
        es.mu.Unlock()
        return true
    })
}

4. Health Checking (pool.go lines 324-381)

A second background goroutine runs every HealthCheckInterval, dialing each endpoint. Failures increment the failure counter (can trigger circuit open). Success resets state.

5. Per-endpoint Concurrency Caps (pool.go lines 148-153, 166-168)

Each endpoint's Acquire checks es.concurrencyCap before allowing a new slot:

if es.concurrencyCap > 0 && es.activeConns >= es.concurrencyCap {
    return nil, ErrEndpointCapped
}

6. Graceful Degradation (pool.go lines 154-157)

When queueDepth >= MaxQueueDepth, new requests are rejected with ErrPoolExhausted rather than blocking or crashing.

7. Retry with Backoff (pool.go lines 199-220)

ExecuteWithRetry treats circuit-open, pool-exhausted, and endpoint-capped errors as retryable. It loops with exponential backoff and respects context cancellation:

func (p *Pool) ExecuteWithRetry(ctx context.Context, endpoint string, fn ConnFunc, maxRetries int) error {
    for attempt := 0; attempt <= maxRetries; attempt++ {
        if attempt > 0 {
            select {
            case <-ctx.Done(): return ctx.Err()
            case <-time.After(p.backoffDuration(attempt)):
            }
        }
        err = p.Execute(ctx, endpoint, fn)
        if err == nil { return nil }
        // CircuitOpen, PoolExhausted, EndpointCapped are all retryable
    }
    return err
}
