-## Connection pool
-To handle our connection to the registry, we utilize a connection pool to keep a socket open to increase responsiveness. In order to accomplish this, we are utilizing a heavily modified version of the [geventconnpool](https://github.com/rasky/geventconnpool) library.

 ### Settings
 The config for the connection pool exists inside the `settings.py` file.

 Consider updating the `POOL_TIMEOUT` or `POOL_KEEP_ALIVE` periods if the pool often restarts. If the pool only restarts after a period of inactivity, update `POOL_KEEP_ALIVE`. If it restarts during the EPP call itself, then `POOL_TIMEOUT` needs to be updated.
 
-### Test if the connection pool is running
-Our connection pool has a built-in `pool_status` object which you can call at anytime to assess the current connection status of the pool. Follow these steps to access it.

+## Signals 
+Though minimally, our application uses [Django signals](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/topics/signals/) for a select few models to manage `user <---> contact` interaction. In particular, we use a subset of prebuilt signals called [model signals](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/ref/signals/#module-django.db.models.signals). 
+
+Per Django, signals "[...allow certain senders to notify a set of receivers that some action has taken place.](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/topics/signals/#module-django.dispatch)" For the vast majority of our use cases, [pre_save](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/ref/signals/#pre-save) or [post_save](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/ref/signals/#post-save) would be sufficient.
