Your database connections run out. Requests fight for a small pool. This leads to lag and system crashes.

Our system crashed during high traffic. Our pool had 100 connections. Requests grew. Threads waited. The system failed.

Here is how we fixed it:

• We grew the pool size to 200. This handles more traffic.
• We checked connections before use. This ensures they work.
• We wrote faster queries. This reduces the time a connection is held.
• We tracked active and idle connections. This helps us find issues early.

Manage your resources. Keep your system stable.
