But more often than not, the real bottleneck in a scaling production application isn't your JavaScript logic — it's your database connection management . Real World A few months ago, while monitoring a backend service, I noticed our API responses spiking past 3 seconds during sudden traffic surges. The database wasn't overloaded — it was simply choking on raw connection handshakes. Every spike traced back to unmanaged persistent connections piling up under load. That investigation changed how I structure every database module I write. When connecting a Node.js runtime to a PostgreSQL instance, many developers make the mistake...
