Connections

2 left only
A connection pool bounds the total database connections an application can open, preventing connection storms during traffic spikes and protecting the database server from exceeding its connection limit.
mitigates
Redis clients hold persistent TCP connections per thread or goroutine. Under connection pool misconfiguration or sudden traffic spikes, the Redis server can exhaust its maxclients limit, causing cascading cache misses that amplify load on the primary database.
