We are seeing a lot of connection bus error when we are running a load test for 250 concurrent users.

We recently upgraded our app from 8.18.1 to 9.6.7 . We thought of running a load test on both to compare the performance under same load. To our surprise we started seeing  JDBC connection error in the logs. The log shows that number of  active connection has reached 50 , with 0 idle connections. We have configured ConnectionPoolingMaxActive as 750. Can anyone help .We are using Azure AKS to host the Mendix app.   Also is there way to see runtime settings using the runtime API. I could not find a way in the docuementation.

The default number of connection to the database is 50.

The ConnectionPoolingMaxActive is only limiting the maximum active instances in the pool.

So if the pool is 50 then setting the maxactive to a higher number will not result in anything.

From the apache documentation:

maxActive controls the maximum number of objects that can be borrowed from the pool at one time. When non-positive, there is no limit to the number of objects that may be active at one time. When maxActive is exceeded, the pool is said to be exhausted.

If you need to increase the number of database connections you need to talk to mendix support for this, but be aware that adding additional connections will probably need additional cpu and RAM resources as well.
