Hey, guys, We’re about to integrate the Realm DB and we noticed that there isn’t an auto-close mechanism. Could you share what approaches do you take to manage the db? Do you try to close it on app close, or perhaps you’ve implemented something with a timeout?

We chose to keep it as Singleton and never close.

The Realm

class is no longer thread-confined, so you can share a single realm across multiple threads. You no longer need to handle the realm lifecycle explicitly with calls to close

Could you share where is this from, please? From the documentation: > Close Realms to Prevent Memory Leaks > It’s important to close your realm instance to free resources. Failing to close realms can lead to an

OutOfMemoryError

.

From this page: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/realm/sdk/kotlin/realm-database/frozen-arch/#thread-safe-realms

Now I’m confused 😅

https://github.com/realm/realm-kotlin/issues/1185#issuecomment-1355355385 So probably the docs are outdated

Thanks for your input!
