Stale comment: testing environment doesn't receive more connections.
The comment on line 13 states "For testing, we need more connections since tests run in parallel," but the testing environment is not explicitly handled and falls through to the base defaults (pool_size=5, max_overflow=10). Either update the comment to reflect the actual behavior or add explicit handling for the testing environment if parallel tests require larger pools.

Add type hint to get_engine() function and clarify the production pool configuration.
The function at line 7 is missing a return type hint. Add -> Engine to comply with the coding guidelines requiring type hints on all functions. Additionally, the comment at lines 12–13 is misleading—it describes the base defaults, which production actually uses. Consider either:
- Adding an explicit
elifbranch for production with a clear comment explaining the sizing strategy, or - Clarifying the existing comment to note that production intentionally uses the base configuration.
Currently, production has only 15 potential connections (5 + 10 overflow) compared to 50 for development and 16 for staging.
