Even in 2026, database connection pool starvation remains a top production issue. Lucas and Luna revisit why connection pool exhaustion still occurs despite years of best practices, using a real-world example from a mid-sized e-commerce platform that saw cascading failures during a flash sale. They explain the two most common root causes: too-small pools and long-running queries holding connections, and discuss practical fixes like connection timeout tuning, pool monitoring, and query optimization. This episode is a must-listen for back-end engineers and DevOps teams dealing with scaling databases. #DatabaseConnectionPool #ConnectionStarvation #DatabasePerformance #BackendEngineering #DevOps #ScalingDatabases #SQLErrors #ConnectionTimeout #QueryOptimization #EcommerceTech #DatabaseTroubleshooting #TechPodcast #DatabaseTech #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #2026 #ProductionIssues #DataEngineering Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
