At Stackhero, there is no hard-coded limit on the number of simultaneous connections your MySQL server can accept. You have the flexibility to adjust this parameter directly from your Stackhero dashboard to suit your application's requirements.

While it may be tempting to set this value very high, it is recommended to choose a limit that matches your actual usage. Each open connection consumes server memory (RAM), so setting the value too high can put unnecessary pressure on your instance and potentially make your database unstable.
