The real danger isnβt too few connections.
Itβs too many.
At high utilization (>80%):
β’ wait times spike π
β’ context switching kills CPU
β’ DB throughput drops
This is where Kingmanβs insight matters:
Small load increase β huge latency jump.

Practical rules Iβm taking forward:
β’ Start with: ~2 Γ CPU cores (upper bound)
β’ Size using traffic
β’ Keep utilization < 80%
β’ Separate pools for different workloads
β’ Always monitor & adjust
Right sizing = free performance π

It's sad that we promote and encourage complexity in the tech industry
I'd love to see more of a push towards simple solutions to problems
