I've done some deployments using BeanManaged and  Hikari pooling. But I'll note one downside to BeanManaged, and that is if you can't connect to the DB at the time of startup. The failover config (to an alternate connector) in the resolver doesn't appear to "kick in/take precedence" in that case, the error is reported in the servlet container's logs and the IdP does not start up. Unless there was something else I needed to configure about that bean that I didn't.
