I can use MySQL workbench and connect to by jawsdb database. Currently very little data in deployed app db. It’s a react app using node.js. I run SHOW processlist and it shows 9 processes in sleep. I manually KILL [process number] on a few of them. Then I restart dynos on heroku and then I can open and use the deployed app. I sign off and close the app. Then open it again and the same thing happens and I can resolve it the same way. I am using pooling. What are these connections to my database? Local environment working fine. Deployed version working fine as long as the new connections don’t start.
I added the pooling, I researched docs on heroku and jawsdb.
