tried to stress-test an authenticated websocket endpoint (that makes 2-3 DB calls) by opening closing randomly and it crashed after 20-30 times within a few seconds

I was focused on the middleware glitching out, but error was in the DB-Postgres coz of multiple-connections

Even if I increase the upper limit of simultaneous open connections, the problem at-scale will still exist
If I tried to use a static forever-open connection, it errors out coz 1-command-at-a-time per connection

so im constrained on both sides -.-
Either I rate-limit the endpoint in general and force-close open connections or I cache Organisation-level info that rarely changes

this is one of the few times I miss MS-SQL, it can take a beating but still serve without much complains or losing data consistency -_-
