Serverless compute does not mean you need more database connections. The math is the same for serverful and serverless. The real difference is what happens when functions suspend. We solve this issue with Fluid compute.

There is a long-standing myth that serverless compute inherently requires more connections to traditional databases. The real issue is not the number of connections needed during normal operation, but that some serverless platforms can leak connections when functions are suspended. In this post, we show why this belief is incorrect, explain the actual cause of the problem, and provide a straightforward, simple-to-use solution.
