I have frequent 500 errors due to exceeding number of connections to my DB. This results in errors like this in /logs: Job exception: FATAL: remaining connection slots are reserved for non-replication superuser connections My config: UNICORN_WORKERS: 12 UNICORN_SIDEKIQS: 2 DISCOURSE_DB_POOL: 90 …

Did you change sidekiq threads manually? I believe the default is 25, and you have 2 process, so 50 connections, only with sidekiq.

I would have to check, but /sidekiq reports only 5 threads per sidekiq: [изображение]

Each web runs multiple threads as well, the numbers add up real quick

I have a data container running on a second server. I have changed the data.yml to expose db and redis ports and to give some extra memory: db_shared_buffers: "8GB" db_work_mem: "100MB"

How do you rotate connections with pgbouncer (session pooling, transaction pooling)? I will try to debug these stalled connections but I think most of them were idle.

We use transaction pooling, session pooling is a no-go with Rails.

At high loads I strongly recommend running pgbouncer, how is your db configured?
