PostgreSQL Connection Issues
Why am I getting 'connection refused' errors in production?
This usually means your connection pool is exhausted. Check your max_connections setting and ensure you're properly releasing connections after use. Also verify that your database server is actually running and accepting connections on the expected port.
How do I increase the connection pool limit?
In your pg_hba.conf, increase max_connections. Also consider using PgBouncer for connection pooling in high-traffic scenarios. PgBouncer sits between your app and PostgreSQL, managing connections more efficiently than your application can.
