Recommended action: Instantiate PrismaClient once outside the handler (globalThis cache in dev), set connection_limit=1 (or small) in serverless, use an external pooler (PgBouncer/Supavisor/Accelerate), and only then tune pool_timeout. Option: Reduce per-instance connections and reuse the client [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: Serverless and Next.js Steps: 1. Create PrismaClient at module scope; in dev cache it on globalThis 2. Add ?connection_limit=1 to the serverless DATABASE_URL 3. Put an external pooler in front of the database Expected: Total connections stay under DB max; P2024 stops Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
